Hi Choco,
Its more than just a link between diabetes and trans-fats. The fact that trans fats have caused cell damage is universally accepted. Many researchers are now convinced that trans fat cell damage is partly responsible for insulin resistance and research is ongoing to try to prove the case. Research is also being undertaken by other bodies specialising in cancer, MS, Alzheimers and Parkinsons, where trans fats are believed to be a contributory factor, if not a primary cause. However the damage is reversible as our bodies constantly create new cells, so by ensuring that we get rid of the stored trans fats and that no further trans fats are ingested we can have a healthy cell system that is receptive to insulin instead of resistant to it.
The intake of high quantities of cis oils (omega-3 and omega-6 oils) as proposed by Carefix is one way of doing this. A bit drastic but it does produce quick results. There is an easier way which is to take omega-3 and omega-6 in a more palatable (but lower dosage) capsule form. The capsule way takes at least 12 weeks to replace all the trans fats, but the end result is the same.
