Heart Disease Results From High-Fat Diet And Lack Of Enzyme In Mice

It’s no secret that a high-fat diet isn’t healthy. Now researchers have discovered a molecular clue as to precisely why that is…

Fake Fat Linked To Weight Gain

Rats fed a high-fat diet gained more weight after eating low-calorie potato chips made with “fake fat”, a synthetic fat substitute designed to taste like fat but without the calories, according to a study due to appear online in the journal Behavioral Neuroscience this week…

How A High-Fat Diet During Pregnancy Increases The Risk Of Stillbirth

Eating a high-fat diet during pregnancy increases the chance of stillbirth, according to new research at Oregon Health & Science University. The new data show eating a typical American diet, which is high in fat, decreases blood flow from the mother to the placenta, the temporary organ that nourishes the unborn fetus…

Antioxidants in pregnancy prevent obesity in animal offspring

New biological research may be relevant to the effects of a mother’s high-fat diet during pregnancy on the development of obesity in her children. An animal study suggests that a high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet causes oxidative stress — an excess of deleterious free radicals — during pregnancy, predisposing the offspring to obesity and diabetes. Feeding rats antioxidants before and during pregnancy completely prevented obesity and glucose intolerance in their offspring.
