Dietary fats and chronic disease

Obesity is a BIG issue

Decreases mobility & QOL Social stigma Increases risk for metabolic,

cardiovascular diseases & some cancers

Increases inflammation

Obesity is a condition where there is an excess of adipose tissue §

Storage of Oil dropletsTriglycerides

Linoleic acid lowers cholesterol

“With vegetable oils this decrease [of

cholesterol] is thought to be largely due

largely to a poly-unsaturated fatty acid

known as linoleic acid.”

Does CLA Shrink Adipose?

1. CLA lowers total adipose mass2. SAF lowers trunk adipose mass

So far….In Postmenopausal women with

T2 DM: CLA

reduces BMI and adipose massno effect on markers of glycemia

SAF reduces trunk adipose mass, HbA1C,

glycemia increases HDL and lean body mass
