Article Synopsis
- Diets high in fat and sugars, specifically fructose and galactose, can cause chronic low-grade inflammation and metabolic issues, as shown in a study with male rats.
- The study evaluated various diets over eight weeks, revealing that while body weight and blood glucose levels remained stable, high fat combined with these sugars significantly increased harmful blood lipid levels and liver accumulation of fats.
- Supplementing the diet with fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a type of dietary fiber, was found to mitigate these negative effects by preventing lipid and advanced glycation end-products buildup.
