More on YMMV

Gretchen,

Thanks for getting us the details of this study. Atleast things like this will make medical professionals to realize that not all folks are same.

Something like asking an obese patient to exercise and lose weight. As we saw in one of your previous article that genetically predisposed patients will not see a benefit in exercise for losing weight.

Once again thanks for getting this detail and interpreting it for us. (Else I would not have understood that medical report - you had referenced)

Thanks

Venkat

Interesting post- as dietary fat induces CCK release, it has been a one-size-fits-all recommendation for type II diabetics (anyone heard of Atkins?).  However, it may be the case that there is incretin resistance as well, so this mechanism may not afford a benefit.  In this case, whereas the MUFA diet conferred an advantage, it would probably be recommended over saturated fat anyway.  So the irony is that these results may further the claim that the Mediterranean diet is the healthiest.  But as you point out, it may only work for the Meditteraneans!?

An AHA! Moment! This would explain those highly irritating people who actually DO succeed on the Healthy High Carb Low Fat Diet which is such a nightmare for the majority of us. There's usually one in every newgroup or forum, a very low percentage of users, but a high percentage of the noise.
