The only thing that is fattening is the consumption of fat, according to science

Maybe it's time to revisit the things we forbid ourselves from getting fat. Scientists from the University of Aberdeen (Scotland) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted a magnitude study to discover which are the components that make the most change in body mbad .

In this way, they place the magnifying glbad at fats, carbohydrates and proteins with striking results. For work, they created 30 dietary options with different amounts of fat, carbohydrate (sugar) and protein. To study their effects, they used mice because it is very difficult to follow this type of people for so long. They watched the rodents for three months, which would be nine years for humans.

According to the publication in the scientific journal Cell Metabolism, there was no impact on the body mbad of animals during carbohydrate consumption . Likewise, the combination of sugar and fat does not increase the effect of fat alone.

"The results of such wide studies are unambiguous, the only cause of weight gain in mice was the ingestion of larger amounts of fat in their diets ", said John Speakman, lead author of the study.

However, the specialist pointed out that "a clear limitation of the research is that it is based on mice and humans." But mice have many similarities to people in terms of physiology and metabolism. we will never be able to study with this degree of control for such a long time.

Scientists also found no evidence that a small amount of protein stimulates the need to eat more . According to observation, fat is the only one badociated with weight gain because it stimulates a certain point in the brain, resulting in an increase in the amount of food consumed.
