- Osteoporosis
- The replacement of bone marrow with fat cells
- Diabetes
- Insulin resistance
- Generalized inflammation
- Elevated liver weight (possibly indicating fatty liver)
Today, Robb Wolf posts an explanation of why this is true.
"Via some slick molecular biology and collaborative tests, the authors of the aforementioned paper show that n-3’s are critical in their interaction with GRP-120 not only for decreased inflammatory effects, but also for insulin sensitivity. It would appear that inadequate n-3’– decreased GRP-120 expression–increased inflammation+decreased insulin sensitivity. Net result? A ton of mierda."

(I tried running Wolf's post through the surfer-dude to English translater, but had minimal success... I think I understood most of it, however. ;))
