Not Enough Of The Right Fats Can Make Children Overweight
29 Jan 2007

Swedish scientists have discovered that children can become overweight
if they don't have enough of the right kind of fat in their food. Or,
in other words, eating a diet with the right kind of fat in it can
stop kids getting overweight.

The findings of the dissertation based at Sahlgrenska Academy at
Goteborg University are published online by the Swedish Research
Council. The key is in the amount of unsaturated fat that a child
consumes.

The study investigated the lifestyle, dietary intake, eating habits
and insulin levels of nearly 200 healthy 4 year old children living in
Göteborg, Sweden. Very few of the children were from deprived areas.

The scientists measured their weight and height to work out Body Mass
Index (BMI). Based on the BMI measures, 23 per cent of the children
were overweight and 2 per cent were classed as obese. The researchers
say they would expect more overweight and obese children if they had
come from a wider socio-economic range.

The results showed a curious correlation between fat intake and BMI.
High BMI children were gaining weight because their bodies were
storing too much fat. But these children were not the ones consuming
the most fat. Children with low or ideal BMI ate more fat than those
who had high BMI.

The key is in the amount of unsaturated fat that a child consumes and
omega-3 in particular. Omega-3 is found in fatty fish and vegetables.

A third of the children in the group were not eating enough
unsaturated fat, and by far the greatest deficiency was the level of
omega-3 fat in their diet, according to lead researcher and Dietician
Malin Haglund Garemo.

Other studies have also suggested a link between lack of omega-3 and
obesity, she said.

Another important discovery was that the highest insulin levels were
found in the children who had put on the most weight. Girls in
particular showed this tendency, the researchers said. And girls with
the lowest insulin levels were the ones who consumed the most
unsaturated fat.

The study also found that many of the children were eating
unhealthily. 70 per cent of them were deficient in iron, and 20 per
cent of them were not getting enough calcium. Their daily intake of
fruit and vegetables was only 140 g a day, instead of the recommended
daily amount of 400 g.

And over 25 per cent of their daily energy was coming from what might
be called "junk" foods such as soft drinks, candy or sweets, cookies,
biscuits and ice cream.

The children who watched more than one hour of TV every day also had a
higher BMI.

The researchers want to conduct further studies "to see if the early
increase in insulin is causing obesity. Such results would go against
the common perception that fat causes increased insulin production as
a result of insulin resistance," said Malin Haglund Garemo.

25% of their diets were low fat "junk" foods such as soft drinks,
candy or sweets, cookies, biscuits and ice cream.Cookies, biscuits and ice cream are generally high fat.

The fatter ones ate the least fat.But the most calories. Or are you jumping to the stupid conclusion
that to get thinner, you eat more fat?
This artcle suggests you get thinner by ingesting a few hundred
milligrams of n3 faqtty acids.

Restricting fat in the diet led to malnourishment in key nutrients.Where did you imagine this from? Fat usually contains little nutrient
other than massive energy. The n3 FA deficiency will be remedied by
some whole grains.

Real meat fat contains more than just "massive energy". You should
read up on that.

The n3 deficiency can be better resolved with healthy animal and fish
foods. Soups made from beef bones, chicken, or fish is extremely
healthy and provides all kinds of real nutrition that cannot be gotten
from any amount of grains. Nutrients like vitamins, A, D, E and K.
Collagen, Iron from beef, and plenty of n3 and n6.

Grains are pathetically poor foods compared to these animal fat loaded
foods.


Remember me saying that the problem is not in the fats, that the
problem is in the carbs? Does that sound familiar?Yes, but where do you think this artcle confirms your unsubstantiated
mantra?

Low-fat/High-carb diets are killing us. And I've been posting many
different scientific points that supports that concept. This last on
is just one more of many posts that support it. By this time, it
should all make sense to you


And to emphasize a very important point:

"The researchers want to conduct further studies "to see if the early
increase in insulin is causing obesity. Such results would go against
the common perception that fat causes increased insulin production as
a result of insulin resistance," said Malin Haglund Garemo."And?
You were so certain.
But these folk don't know.?

Insulin? Involved in obesity? Wow? But I thought it was just a matter
of calories!!!!!!!!!It is. Always. Psychology, climate, socioeconomic development and
insulin also have input. Can you not read English?

This guy must be a heretic. And heretic is the
right word because we must all have blind faith and believe in our
advanced degree pinheaded nutritional leaders when they proclaim their
wisdom to the world.Well, certainly not your meat industry mantra that grains are the
cause of all our ills.

Prediction:

1) The US nutritional authorities will label this as the "Swedish
Paradox".What paradox? I saw none

2) Industry food cult trolls will label this a too small a study, or
will jump on some minor points to dispute while ignoring the major
point being made.The major point being trhat more investigation should be done?

3) Advanced degree university allopathic professor pinheads will make
up some high sounding rationalization to justify their ignoring the
real world in their curriculums as they educate the next generation of
completely nutritionally-ignorant doctors and nutritionists.Wow, you are bucking for a bonus from your meat industry employer?
