I just read an interesting document from the Gabriel Fernandez at the University of Texas. It is titled "High-fat animal model of diet-induced obesity associated with age and osteoporosis. I expect the usual" we eat rats industrial lard for 60% of calories and they are sick "paper, but I was surprised. From this introduction:
CO [corn oil] is known that bone loss, obesity, glucose tolerance, insulin resistance and thus promoting useful model for studying early stages in the development of obesity, hyperglycemia, type 2 diabetes [23] and osteoporosis. We have used the omega-6 fatty acid fortified foods as a source of fat commonly observed in contemporary Western diets are basically responsible for the pathogenesis of many diseases [24].
Only 10% of food such as corn oil (approximately 20% of calories), not containing added omega-3, on top of an otherwise poor nutrition laboratory, causing:
* Obesity
* Osteoporosis
* Replacement of bone marrow with fat cells
Diabetes
* Insulin resistance
* General inflammation
* Increased liver weight (may include fatty liver)
Hmm, some sounds familiar ... We can add to the findings that omega-6 are also various forms of cancer in rodents (1) promote.
Fat 20% less than the amount normally required to make the mice became ill. This leads me to conclude that corn oil is very good at making a mouse version of some of the most common aspect of the "diseases of civilization". This is very high in omega-6 (linoleic acid) with almost no omega-3.
Make sure you have a heart-healthy corn oil feeding you! This is done in the United States, cheap and even lower cholesterol!
