You're spreading a bit of misinformation here about the nature of saturated fats. The evidence that specifically saturated fats impact insulin resistance is very weak - the change was very low in the studies that took place, and there was no control group in the studies.
More recent studies, which generally don't get the same level of publicity, found no correlation between the two (though do confirm the adipose inflammation relationship):

- CuriouslyC 11y agoI wouldn't say it is misinformation, though I agree that the issue is far from decided. I appreciate the references and I would love to look at any more you have. One issue with Tierney et al. is that EPA/DHA have been shown to partially ameliorate the insulin desensitizing effects of saturated fatty acids.
