意外！每天吃点猪油，竟有助控制体重和慢性炎症

Core Insights - The research team from Hunan Agricultural University found that moderate consumption of lard can reduce fat deposition and inflammation, suggesting that adults should use 25 to 30 grams of cooking oil daily, with lard making up about half of that amount [2] Group 1 - The study indicates that fat deposition and inflammation caused by obesity are significant underlying factors for type 2 diabetes [2] - In a comparison of lard, tea oil, and peanut oil, mice consuming lard were found to be leaner and had less inflammation than those consuming plant oils, with lard-eating mice showing nearly a 29% reduction in overall fat compared to those eating tea oil [2] - Mice consuming lard had lower levels of pro-inflammatory molecules (e.g., IL-6) and higher levels of anti-inflammatory molecules (e.g., IL-10), suggesting that lard may be more effective than certain plant oils in controlling weight and chronic inflammation [2] Group 2 - The research further revealed the molecular mechanisms by which lard exerts its benefits, notably increasing the levels of taurine bile acid in the serum, which acts as a key messenger connecting diet and metabolism [3] - Lard instructs fat cells to accelerate fat breakdown into energy and calms inflammatory immune cells, reducing inflammation within fat tissue [3] - The researchers recommend a balanced consumption of lard and plant oils in daily diets, highlighting that lard's balanced ratio of saturated to monounsaturated fatty acids allows for a 40% reduction in oil usage when cooking [3]
