Does anyone know whether the fat created via lipogenesis tends to be saturated or unsaturated?
Any fat that's made through de novo lipogenesis from carbohydrate will be saturated.
I thought it was about the ratio of saturated/ unsaturated. Hence, the frying out the fat in bacon or chicharrones and refrying in coconut oil, cooking eggs in coconut oil, or adding coconut oil to peanut butter.
If PUFA is that much harder to burn then the body's ratio of saturated / unsaturated will ALWAYS be lower than the diet ratio. It is really about the total amount of PUFA or more specifically about the body ratio of SFA / UFA.
