That's not true at all... What would possibly make you think that?
- alex_hitchins 9y agoI can't point to anything specific, however I was under this impression from listening to a few Keto diet enthusiasts.
- nnq 9y agoFirst search shows: http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/endocrine/pancreas/insulin_phys.html http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/endocrine/panc... > Insulin promotes synthesis of fatty acids in the liver > Insulin inhibits breakdown of fat in adipose tissue ...but don't take that to mean "insulin is what gets you fat". It does not... or not as in it being a bad thing. It's more like "insulin just tells your body to process away that damn extra sugar"... and your body does whatever it can with it, like converting it into stored fat. It would be much worse if it didn't! You'd have diabetes then, and that sugar standing unprocessed in you blood would do tons of damage to your body! Making you a bit fatter is kind of the best thing your body can do with the extra sugar that got dumped into your blood...
