This is Dr Fung's response on the dietdoctor.com site to the question of whether dietary fat causes type 2 diabetes:
Quote:
However, this ‘fatty muscle’ is not caused by EATING dietary fat. Instead eating refined carbohydrates and high insulin levels causes de novo lipogenesis in the liver which is exported to the muscles as VLDL and causes ‘fatty muscle’.
This same effect is seen in cattle where cows are fed high starch grain to cause ‘marbling’ of the beef, which is nothing more than ‘fatty muscle’. But it’s important to note that eating too many CARBS, not FAT causes this ‘fatty muscle’.
