Does trans-fat cause type 2 diabetes?
As trans fat in foods is wide could it be why type 2 diabetes is on the increase. Please give root cause of insulin resistance if not the above as I have right to eat the correct fats (EFA) rather than man made one. Give me a list of oils that are cis-isomer and non-hydrogenated. I truly believe that type 2 diabetes can be reversed (eating the way God/nature intended) and be healed completely of condition. Will going organic and trans-fat free make a difference as before trans fat existed who had type 2 diabetes?
Mr Peachy…im ok and totally agree with your last comment. I rang diabetes uk and got into argument with them over the fact that diabetes can be reversed. And last night asked myself where in Africa where they eat plenty of natural carbs are people 20, 50 or 100 stones in weight. For too long type 2 diabetic believe anything and go with flow but not me. Chicken and chips which children are now eating everyday are being fried and processed in trans fat. when i was 8…30 years ago my mum cooked me a proper meal. Children of today are being fed processed food everyday and getting type 2 diabetes. Where in Africa are children obese? What you said all makes sense as a dr called Grabriel Cousens recently put a T1 on a raw foods vegan eating plan for 30 days and he was healed of diabetes. He was a T1. And from what I gather type 1 develop it in childhood and now more and more adults are getting type 1…interesting?
It’s a little more complicated than that, but you’re on the right track.

In response to the answer below. To say what she’s saying is totally ignorant of the facts. Food absolutely causes type two diabetes. All one has to do is look at the Pima Indians. When they were introduced to the typical western diet of high carb processed and refined foods w/o the necessary nutrients found in natural foods, the incidence of type two diabetes skyrocketed. They’re at something like 49% today. Modern medicine (and sue) still don’t get it. IT’S THE FOOD. I’m living proof. Since adopting a natural foods diet, my insulin resistance has gone down and I no longer need medication. Fat buildup in the cell walls is part of the equation, and lack of proper nutrients to facilitate the transfer of insulin and glucose into the cell walls is the the other part. This isn’t rocket science, it’s common sense that is all but gone these days.

Absolutely NO food has ever caused diabetes!! Even the trans fats haven’t!!
It is just that the doctors are testing routinely now for diabetes type 2. Previous to about 15 years ago, they didn’t even consider that the average person might be insulin resistant or glucose sensitive.
You can go organic foods if you have the funding to do so. but it is mostly higher cost than the same foods grown otherwise.

While the mechanisms through which trans fats contribute to coronary heart disease are fairly well understood, the mechanism for trans fat’s effect on diabetes is still under investigation.
