We have spent decades avoiding one of the most essential & vital macromolecule-FATS to our own peril.You may hear these fitness folks propagating fats are bad & causing cardiovascular disease referring to an obsolete & obnoxious paper or theory of Ancel keys who claimed in 1958 that it is fat & cholesterol which causes heart disease.Obviously, these folks do not have even an iota of understanding of how human biochemistry works.Years & decades of FAT hate & removing things such butter, ghee or full fat milk( saturated fats) has not helped reduce the incidence of cardiovascular & metabolic diseases. Infact, the incidence of these diseases has increased manifold!What is the reason?We are living under the false assumption that saturated fats are bad & even some folks are even endorsing that seed oils & polyunsaturated fats are not bad!Let us clear this clutter! The number of double bonds in a particular fatty acid determines how it will interact with our cells!While some saturated fats such as C14-myristic acid & C16-Palmitic acid are worst offenders & specifically C16 is said to trigger release of reactive oxygen & nitrogen species & cause cardiovascular disease, it has now been found that some specific odd chain saturated fatty acids such as Pentadecnoic acid(C15) & heptadecanoic acid(C17) as well even chain saturated fatty acid- Stearic Acid(C18) are actually beneficial for our cellular health. Specifically C15 is now called the holy grail of longevity & plays a key role in activating various receptors that reinstates cellular homeostasis, regulates glucose metabolism, reduces cancer cell proliferation, reduces inflammation & even improves cell membrane stability.Just putting all saturated fats in one bucket is a flawed approach & it is important to understand the chemical structure of each saturated fats & interaction with cells, microbiome, receptors & associated biochemical pathways Our today’s talk breaks this myth & discusses, backed by existing research, each of fats in detailKnow more about how you can improve triglyceride levels at:www.genefitletics.com/orahygCitations https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-64960-yhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33965456/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9241382/
