According to researchers from the Washington University in
St. Louis, Diets, too low in fat may not be helpful to lose
fat, and eating at least small amounts of dietary fats might
be a better way to fat-burning.
Scientists experimented on mice to discover "new"
fat that sparked a cascade of gene activity in the liver necessary
for healthy blood levels of sugar, cholesterol and other fats.
The results endorse the fact that extreme diets aren't always
the ticket to a lean body, and a balanced diet should include
an adequate source of fat.
"Extremes of diet are sometimes unwise, because a balanced
diet may be critical for providing certain dietary signals
that allow you to respond appropriately to stresses, and one
of those stresses is eating too much," said Dr. Clay
Semenkovich, a professor of medicine, cell biology and physiology
at the University of Washington and co-author of the study.
The new research is published in the May issue of Cell Metabolism.
