11. No evidence that fat directly raises blood sugar.

And I mean ZERO.

What effect it does have can (emphasis on can) be indirect. A high fat meal can slow down digestion and make insulin not work as well; however, notice the use of "high fat." That's because it takes a quite high-fat meal to slow down your digestion to that point: Fried chicken with french fries, and a buttery roll on the side fat levels. That's what it takes. But a standard balanced meal? Nope. The fat content of a (not-fried) meat and veg type meal isn't bad for you.

If fat were bad for you, the French would be the unhealthiest people in the world, given how they eat much larger quantities of butter, cheese and cream than, well, anyone in the world. And yet only the Japanese have lower obesity, diabetes and heart disease rates than the French. So fat isn't the problem.

That would be sugar.
