A LINK TO Diabetes

A by product of saturated fat may hold a key to taming type-2 diabetes. When saturated fat is stored in the body, it’s converted to ceramides, fatty lipids crucial for cell function. Biochemists at Colorado State University in Fort Collins have discovered that too much ceramide may cause a condition that leads to diabetes. Researchers are working on this link and it could lead to a breakthrough diabetes treatment. Keep your intake or saturated fats under control, but don’t cut fat out completely. Our bodies need a certain amount of fat to function properly. Source : prevention.
