Fat all the same for stopping hunger pangs

www.gdaguru.com today reports that it does not matter what form fat is consumed in – saturated, mono- or poly-unsaturated – they all perform poorly when it comes to producing a feeling of fullness, says a new study.  02-06-2010

In a story from www.foodnavigator.com, a new study published in Nutrition & Metabolism suggests that whereas previous studies have suggested that polyunsaturated fats may be more effective at suppressing appetite than mono-unsaturated fats, there is actually no difference between the two.

The study sought to answer the previous controversy as to whether different types of fats may affect satiety differently.

Eighteen healthy, lean men were assigned to receive breakfasts high in one form of the three fats – saturated, mono-unsaturated, or poly-unsaturated in a randomised cross-over design.

The participants did not rate the breakfasts any differently in terms of their “pleasantness, visual appearance, smell, taste, aftertaste and overall palatability”, said the researchers. Furthermore, there were no differences in the measures of satiety between the high fat meals.
