Circulating Fat Blobs Predict Cardiovascular Disease

One year ago JAMA published a major breakthrough article explaining that nonfasting levels of triglycerides (fat blobs) was an independent and highly predictive indicator of true cardiovascular disease risk. In the past year these finding have been widely agreed upon...

How High Fructose Corn Syrup Causes Obesity

I have repeatedly stated that high fructose corn syrup should be banned from the food supply. A new study confirms the diabolical nature of this substance to induce leptin resistance and consequent obesity – and future heart disease and diabetes.

High Triglycerides Boost Stroke Risk

A new study in JAMA indicates that nonfasting triglyceride levels are associated with stroke risk. This data follows other recent research linking them to heart attacks. Nonfasting triglycerides are not measured on routine blood tests, which are typically fasting. Nonfasting triglycerides are more reflective of what your body is actually doing during the day. Every time you snack between meals you raise your triglycerides, which is why rule #2 of the Leptin Diet is to eat three meals a day and do not snack.

Sweet Taste and Food Obsession

New research confirms that the more sweets you eat the more likely it is that your tongue’s sweet sensors are disturbed, causing you to eat even greater amounts of sweets just to get a satisfied sweet sensation. Unfortunately, this craving for sweet pleasure is accompanied by eating too many calories in general and thus weight gain is likely.

Leptin, Thyroid, and Weight Loss

It is very common that individuals who are overweight have a majority of the symptoms associated with a hypothyroid-like condition. This is especially true for those who have a history of yo-yo dieting or have difficulty losing weight by cutting back on calories and trying to exercise more.

Leptin Problems Linked to Thyroid Cancer

When a person gains weight it is typical that leptin levels rise too high in the blood and do not get into the brain – a problem called leptin resistance that is a key force behind overeating and becoming overweight. For the first time researchers show that excessive leptin in the blood upregulates leptin receptors on thyroid cancer cells causing them to become aggressive thyroid cancer.

Chlorella as a Weight Loss Supplement

Several new animal studies show that chlorella is yet another nutritional tool to assist in the battle of the bulge. One study showed it could improve leptin and insulin function despite a high fat diet. Another study showed it prevents the accumulation of fat in fat cells (blunting the storage of calories).

R-Alpha Lipoic Acid Lowers Triglycerides

Elevated triglycerides are a key cardiovascular risk and a sign of leptin resistance, as too many triglycerides in your blood block normal leptin entry into your brain (causing you to have excessive food cravings that tend to be out of control). A new study shows that R-alpha lipoic acid can significantly reduce the formation of triglycerides.

Curcumin: Linking Leptin, Obesity, Joint Problems, and Inflammation

Curcumin is the yellow pigment derived from the spice tumeric. Fine quality dietary supplements standardize curcumin for the amount of curcuminoids, the primary biologically active ingredient. It is widely researched as an anti-inflammatory nutrient with cancer-risk reduction properties. A number of new studies demonstrate how curcumin can reduce the inflammation associated with obesity and in so doing simultaneously improve joint health.
