BIOLOGY 105 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Trans Fat, Glycemic Load, Canola
Document Summary
Large clinical study 27 centers, 3200 participants: tracked people who were at risk for t2d over three years. Results: intensive lifestyle modification (diet, weight loss, exercise) reduced risk by 58% across all ages, ethnic groups, sexes: type 2 diabetes can be prevented! Resistant starches starch linked to cellulose, does not get digested. Glycemic load [food"s gi*food"s grams of carbs]/100. Insulin shock diabetic injects too much insulin, which causes most of the blood"s glucose to be removed from the blood. True or false: monounsaturated and trans fatty acids are liquid at room temp: false; trans fatty acids are solid at room temperature. Saturated fatty acids: fully hydrogenated, food sources: animal origin, tropical origin (coconut, palm oil, no c=c bonds. Monounsaturated fatty acids: less hydrogen atoms and one c=c double bond, food sources with high amounts: olives, avocados, canola oil, nuts (peanuts, almonds) Polyunsaturated fatty acids: more than one c=c double bond, food sources with high amounts.
