Low protein consumption due to low intake of animal foods and a high rate of vegetarianism, and a high consumption of refined grains, sugar, and seed oils promote being skinny fat.
Using olive oil or canola oil - a "less bad" seed oil - instead of soybean oil for cooking led to large reductions in insulin resistance and fatty liver in men with fatty liver disease.
Soybean oil contains large amounts of omega-6 linoleic acid, canola less, with olive oil the least.
Striking evidence that seed oils, aka vegetable oils, are bad news and may play a huge role in the epidemic of fatty liver, metabolic syndrome, and ultimately, diabetes.
For those of you who don't know, NAC and glycine are cheap OTC supplements.
NAC is a delivery vehicle for the sulfur amino acid cysteine, which oxidizes readily but does not when formulated as NAC. Cells take up NAC and convert it into cysteine.
Glycine is itself an amino acid
The results of this study show that the combination of NAC and glycine in people age 71-80 fights aging, and the results are not weak.
Since the supplements used are amino acids, that means that someone eating a higher protein diet might get similar results.
