While the body can easily recover from a single use of harmful food, the regular inclusion in your diet of unhealthy foods rich in saturated fats can cause long-term damage through changes associated with fatty liver disease and diabetes. This conclusion was reached by German scientists from the Diabetes Center in Dusseldorf, having studied 14 men aged 20 to 40 years.

Each subject received either a glass of palm oil with a vanilla flavor, or a glass of pure water.

A glass of palm oil contained a quantity of saturated fat equivalent to eight pieces of Pepperoni pizza and a cheeseburger with a large portion of french fries.

It was found that palm oil caused the immediate accumulation of fat in the body and a decrease in insulin sensitivity, which regulates blood sugar, which in turn can lead to the development of diabetes. In addition, palm oil increased triglyceride levels, causing a disruption in liver function.
