The mice were fed a lower carb diet, it appears. The main fatty acid causing the issue was palmitic acid, which is a high amount of meat, dairy, and palm fats, but about 25% of coconut oil and between 8-20% of olive oils, from my quick review.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Email me to get on either the “Common/Top Issues” (20 - 25% fewer pings) or “Everything” list.

I eat a high fat diet and am lucky to have almost no pain. But of course, I’m not a mouse!

I’m a bit skeptical of extrapolating animal experiments to humans. I recall that xylitol mints are very good for my teeth, but would be deadly for a dog.

There are millions of mice studies whose findings didn’t translate to humans.

So probably the best diet is more vegetables, lean meats, some fats and limited dairy and carbohydrates.

The headline is VERY misleading. Fats can not be lumped together. The “study” looked at one type of fat known to be unhealthy. For example, MCTs (medium length triglycerides) are good. But even in that category there are different varieties based on 8 to 16 carbon atoms, with some better than others.

High fat diet = heart stents or bypass, eventually.

The usual “condemn all fats” with another crappy mouse study.
