I was also surprised by these findings. It seems the mechansim may have something to do with increased fasting glucose concentration but I don't think we know how omega 3's raise fasting glucose. For sure, more research is needed here. The study controlled for both body mass index and glycemic index so theoretically the effect of these variables was eliminated in the modelling.Dr. Thomas Haltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572895847030755799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3351611437313995034.post-77335768488404930442011-04-24T22:56:32.059-04:002011-04-24T22:56:32.059-04:00Thanks for referencing these studies Dr. Halton.
I...Thanks for referencing these studies Dr. Halton.<br />In regards to the fish study, I'm surprised becasue I believe that omega-3 also lowers trigylcerides, which is also a risk factor for diabetes. Does the study report high GI carb intake as well and BMI, and were there no correlations to these? Thank you!Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00031423566647304032noreply@blogger.com
