THIS must be why such placement of excess fat is connected to metabolic syndrome. Powerful correlation effect.

Agreed. If you wanted to give a healthy person metabolic syndrome rapidly, I'd start with excess sugar, manufactured oils, and lots of refined flour. There are a lot of recipes and processed foods with these primary ingredients.

They never say "Unhealthy Sugar". I'm not so sure that visceral fat is all that unhealthy - in and of itself. The circumstances that generate it are the problem. In a metabolically disregulated state the body is just doing what it has to in order to cope with fructose intake at levels beyond what it was ever designed to handle. When the diet is such that metabolic health is restored are those "unhealthy" fatty deposits still a cause for concern? Well, even if they are the body gets right at the job of burning it away. One of the first health markers that I saw improve to a healthy state after going low carb was my elevated ALT/AST due to fatty liver & inflammation. I still weighed 375 pounds and had loads of visceral fat.
My 'beef' with the wording of this is that the fat still sounds like the bad guy. It implies that sugar in moderation won't cause the fat to do it's unhealthy thing. While that is technically true, the kind of moderation required to achieve metabolic health is not what the typical reader has in mind and the wording of this article gives no clue. The real bad guy is the sugar - particularly the unhealthy fructose half of sugar. |
