Saturated fatty acids linked to obesity | 飽和脂肪酸與肥胖有關

The study finds that high intake of saturated fatty acids, and low intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids are linked to obesity and abdominal obesity risk.  But they do not have an impact on diabetes type 2.

The study did not survey the link between trans fat and risk of obesity.  Trans fat is linked to higher risk of diabetes.  Previous studies linked intake of trans fat and saturated fat to elevated risk of diabetes.

There is a lot to consider when it comes to dietary fatty acids.  It is not as simple as saturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fat.  Think carefully and do not take this message mechanically.

研究發現，飽和脂肪酸攝入量高，多不飽和脂肪酸攝入量低，與肥胖和腹部肥胖風險有關。 但它們對 2 型糖尿病沒有影響。

該研究沒有調查反式脂肪與肥胖風險之間的聯繫。 反式脂肪與較高的糖尿病風險有關。 之前的研究將反式脂肪和飽和脂肪的攝入與糖尿病風險升高聯繫起來。

當涉及到膳食脂肪酸時，需要考慮很多因素。 它不像飽和脂肪酸和多不飽和脂肪那麼簡單。 仔細思考，不要機械地接受這個信息。
