“Visceral fat is “invisible,” and it can be difficult to find out how much a person’s body has stored. To do so, specialists must conduct expensive tests, such as MRI and CT scans or dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.

Yet, in their study — the results of which appear in Nature Medicine — the researchers developed an easier, more cost-efficient method of estimating body fat that allowed them to then conduct further analyses, establishing how this form of fat contributed to health risks.”

“To measure the amount of visceral fat, advanced and costly diagnostic imaging techniques are required. We have developed a simple method, which instead estimates an individual’s amount of deep belly fat from other parameters more easily measured than the visceral fat itself, and the method can, therefore, be used in most clinics.”

Research shows…

Gary Taubes, author of What if it’s All a Big Fat Lie?, commissioned a study to support low carb advocates’ theory (Carbohydrate-Insulin Model of Obesity) that decreased insulin secretion resulting from limiting carbohydrates would lead to less fat storage & thus overcome the increased consumption of fat in the diet.

Here is a result of their study.

This is exceptionally good stuff, guys. Take a quick listen!

The American Cancer Society / American Society of Clinical Oncology recommends a diet high in vegetables, fruit, whole grains & legumes (beans, chickpeas, lentils, etc); and low in saturated fat and alcohol.

Studies are currently in progress, but to date, not a single clinical study has shown a measurable benefit of a ketogenic (high-fat, adequate protein, low carbohydrate) diet for any human cancer.
