Is Dietary Fat the Real Culprit Behind Insulin Resistance?

Brazilian health influencer 'masteringdiabetes' recently published a video discussing insulin resistance. The video claims that high dietary fat, not carbohydrates, is the primary cause of blood sugar spikes. The author states, "When you eat fruit, your body breaks it down into glucose and fructose. That glucose needs to enter your cells for energy—but if your cells are insulin resistant, the glucose stays stuck in your blood." This claim, while partially true, requires further scientific validation and a balanced perspective from medical professionals. The video promotes a free guide to reverse insulin resistance, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest. While the video has garnered significant views, its reliance on clickbait tactics and potentially misleading information makes it unsuitable for direct quotation in a news article. However, the topic itself remains a relevant area of public health concern, warranting further investigation and clarification by credible sources.
