[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 241881, member: 12578"] 1) Insulin resistance in the cells is present when there is an excess of fatty acids in the cell so what Barnard says is on the face of it true. It isn't a simple direct relationship between dietary fat and fatty acids though. Some fat is also always needed in the diet (you couldn't get fat soluble vits without it and omega 3 and 6 fatty acids are essential as they can't be synthesised by the body. Eating too little fat can be detrimental to health . In the mainstream eating too much of certain types of fats (trans and saturated) is also considered detrimental (though you will find that there are some who disagree that sat fats are less healthy) This article (and others in the 6 part series) is by an obesity researcher at Washington University and summarises mainstream thinking/research on the causes of insulin resistance.
