A team of Université Laval researchers has shown that the main neurological markers for Alzheimer's disease are exacerbated in the brains of mice fed a diet rich in animal fat and poor in omega-3s. view more (2008-10-29)
Brain system serves as 'remote control' for fat metabolism
A system in the brain already known to regulate food intake also serves as a direct "remote control" for the way fat is stored and metabolized in the body, say University of Cincinnati (UC) researchers. view more (2007-09-21)
Study Finds Evidence Of Link Between Fat Intake And Breast Cancer
Scientists funded by the Medical Research Council and Cancer Research UK have found evidence of a link between consumption of fat and breast cancer. The scientists analysed information from detailed food diaries completed by women who later developed breast cancer and compared their results with women who did not develop breast cancer. They found... view more... (2003-07-16)

A simple imaging technique developed by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has revealed fat buildup in the hearts of pre-diabetic people long before symptoms of heart disease or diabetes appear. view more (2007-09-05)
Large study shows low-fat diet has little effect on reducing risk of breast cancer
A major study that includes nearly 50,000 women followed over 8 years indicates that a diet low in fat, but high in fruit, vegetables and grains, does not significantly reduce the risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women view more (2006-02-08)
Low-fat diet does not reduce risk of colorectal cancer
In an article in the February 8 JAMA, Shirley A. A. Beresford, Ph.D., of the University of Washington, Seattle, and colleagues with the Women's Health Initiative (a study which included nearly 50,000 women) analyzed data from the WHI Dietary Modification Trial to determine the effect of a low-fat eating pattern on risk of colorectal cancer in... view more...

They face a dilemma each winter, as they need to spend... view more... (2002-12-09)
Obesity And Environmental Chemicals: Research Probes Potential Link
A team of researchers at UNH is investigating whether the increasing ubiquity of chemical flame retardants found in foam furniture, carpeting, microwaves and computers might be related to the climbing rate of obesity in the United States. view more (2007-03-08)
High-fat diet impairs muscle health before impacting function
Skeletal muscle plays a critical role in regulating blood sugar levels in the body. But few studies have comprehensively examined how obesity caused by a high-fat diet affects the health of muscle in adolescents who are pre-diabetic. view more (2009-10-06)
Joslin study reveals how a specific fat type can protect against weight gain and diabetes
A new study from Joslin Diabetes Center may shed light on why some people can eat excessive amounts of food and not gain weight or develop type 2 diabetes, while others are more likely to develop obesity and this most common form of diabetes on any diet. view more (2007-03-02)
How and where fat is stored predicts disease risk better than weight
A new study in mice indicates that overeating, rather than the obesity it causes, is the trigger for developing metabolic syndrome, a collection of heath risk factors that increases an individual's chances of developing insulin resistance, fatty liver, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. view more (2008-04-17)
New research suggests diabetes transmitted from parents to children
A new study in the September issue of the Journal of Lipid Research suggests an unusual form of inheritance may have a role in the rising rate of diabetes, especially in children and young adults, in the United States. view more (2008-08-21)
New findings measure precise impact of fat on cancer spread

Worker ants store fat to share with colony members during times of need
In a fascinating new study from the September/October 2006 issue of Physiological and Biochemical Zoology, Daniel A. Hahn (University of Florida) explores the ability of ants to store excess fat and pass it to colony members through lipid-rich oral secretions or unfertilized eggs. view more (2006-07-27)
