Or is it the other way round? Does IR cause hypertriglyceridemia?

[jingale]

Does glucose tolerance improve with lowering of triglycerides?

[Ashka9]

Inflammation is the main cause of reduced no. of receptors according to me.....reason of inflammation may be fat or any other condition.

[cure Administrator in reply to Ashka9]

very true.... inflammation is also cause for reduced HDL/elevated LDL and reduced vit D Level....

free radicals...distorted O3/O6 or simply gut microbes or any other points ???

"inflammation" is a buzz word now a days and most discussed for any kind of disease...

Karch, Cure

Inflammation is an evidence of immune system fighting against any disease, disorder, deficiency or irregularities.

Heat is generated when energy meets with resistance. When medics mention 'inflammation' the term doesn't mean much beyond saying heat is present. The heat arises because current is flowing, as ions perhaps, and is meeting with resistance. Inflammation is evidence of an immune or healing response in which the flow of ions or electricity signals something to cells.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coconut

Coconut is a fruit botanically

By seed oil I meant the ones we use currently like sunflower oil etc

Also other seed oils

We believe that these should be minimally used and cold pressed whereas available ones are all industrial oils

Coconut oil can be used extensively as its primarily saturated fat as opposed to seeds which are high in omega 6 and imbalances the o3:o6 ratio

Many uses only oil and avoids butter, ghee and this throws off the balance

I am sure u know all these Already

[Hidden]

All these Desi oils are good

We have always used peanut, mustard, til and coconut oil as per the regions

Only now we are influenced to use sunflower, soya, canola etc oils which are highly industrialized and causes inflammation

Above oils cold pressed and minimal is good

By the way Japanese uses rice bran oil traditionally .... I read somewhere

True

welcome.... in childhood... we use to purchase kardai oil.... they said it is heart friendly.....

[cure Administrator]

Kardai=Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) is a highly branched, herbaceous, thistle-like annual plant. It is commercially cultivated for vegetable oil extracted from the seeds. Plants are 30 to 150 cm (12 to 59 in) tall with globular flower heads having yellow, orange, or red flowers. Each branch will usually have from one to five flower heads containing 15 to 20 seeds per head. Safflower is native to arid environments having seasonal rain. It grows a deep taproot which enables it to thrive in such environments.
