I am new here but I have been reading forum and some of ray’s articles for a while and it’s really interesting stuff that I have been trying to apply to my own health. I enjoy trying to visualize things like a cell membrane. I read and bought into ray’s ideas of pufas not being good and membrane rigidity being good through saturated fats.
Anyways, found a scientific article on cell membranes in diabetes that concludes the opposite of rays ideas on saturated and unsaturated fats and how they affect health specifically in this case insulin resistance. It’s an interesting read but it is obviously quite contrary to peat. I am not skilled in biology or research or dissecting studies. @haidut @Such_Saturation anyone can you explain why this paper is wrong? Lipid Composition of Cell Membranes and Its Relevance in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
It seems to think that it is clear cut that the greater the unsaturation of the membrane the more insulin sensitive the membrane due to ease of integrating GLUT into membrane because of more flexibility. Therefore more glucose transport. It kind of makes sense through the proposed mechanism but obviously contradicts peat. Unless maybe it is just mufa and not pufa but I think they mention certain pufa. Still they say the more saturation the more diabetes.
