Inflammation that is caused by what?
Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD wrote:
By visceral adipose tissue (VAT).

I assume you are referring to the main, or most common, cause of

Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD wrote:
Correct.

Would you agree that VAT is essentially caused by the consumption of
refined carbohydrates?
Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD wrote:
No.
We see folks who eschew processed foods and choose to consume only
complex carbohydrates and yet develop significant VAT when they
overeat.

To clarify my question further, would you agree that a diet high in
high glycemic load foods, instead of protein and fat, is more likely
to lead to VAT?

Not for those who know in their hearts that "hunger is good" so that
they are not compelled to overeat.
Carbohydrates do make folks hungrier.
BlackHawk96 wrote:
When you say "Carbohydrates" in "Carbohydrates do make folks
hungrier." are you including carbs with a low Glycemic Index?
Yes.
Can you cite a study or other source which proves that assertion?
This comes from the biochemical knowledge that when the carbohydrates
reach the Krebs Cycle, low GI carbs are indistinquishable from high GI
carbs.
In other words, you cannot cite any such study or source, and
are trying to disguise your non-response in what you think
will be impressive terms (geez, my first encounter with the
citric acid cycle was in the middle 70s; it's not as arcane to
you would wish)
Come back with an answer which deals with such things
as relative rates of digestion and absorption, blood
glucose levels, levels of glycogen in the liver, and
the role of the hyopthalamus in hunger, rather than
pretending that you can work out complex real-world
problems in physiology from first principles, and then
perhaps you will be taken seriously.

Or a low glycemic load?
Low GI carbs in excessive quantities will still be a large glycemic
load.
Perhaps I was not as specific in my question as I might have been. I
was not referring to a high glycemic load diet, but to a low glycemic
load diet.
You probably mean a diet comprised of low GI carbohydrates.
May GOD bless you in HIS mighty way making you hungrier than ever.
Prayerfully in Jesus' awesome love,
