A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Dr. Martha Belury author of the study and a professor of nutrition at Ohio State University in Columbus. Her study, about the effects of certain kinds of fat (linoleic acid (CLA) or safflower oil) on obese woman. Her study that included 35 older women had the following results.
Eating certain kinds of fats may actually help obese women with diabetes trim some body fat
Using supplements containing these to fats, led to healthy changes in body composition over four months
Linoleic Acid (CLA)
With CLA, the women saw a dip in body mass index (BMI)
CLA is an unsaturated fatty acid found in beef, lamb and dairy products
Safflower Oil
With safflower oil, the women’s BMI did not change, but they typically shed a couple pounds of fat from the trunk area
they also showed improvements in their blood sugar levels, which signals better diabetes control
Safflower oil is rich in omega-6 polyunsaturated fats
Dr Belury recommends the following.
“Don’t get rid of the healthy fats in your diet when you get rid of the bad ones”
Overweight women with diabetes use CLA or safflower oil supplements
Obese woman should fit more polyunsaturated fats into their diet
Dr Belury also says more study is needed with regards to,
CLA affects enzymes involved in body-fat storage
potential effects on diabetes
CLA did not affect blood-sugar control in this study
previous study of diabetic adults found that CLA actually raised blood-sugar levels
When you are following a diabetic diet plan this does go a bit against the grain
