High triglycerides block leptin signaling?

[Guest guest]

I saw something today that said that high triglycerides are involved

in blocking leptin signaling.

And on the same page it had the remark that " triglycerides go up in

starvation " .

Rosedale says that you can lower triglycerides by eating less/no

grains.

Several cultures consider grains to be " cattle feed " .

During the Irish Potato Famine, they were offered grains, but

preferred potatoes. They considered grains to be cattle feed, and

they stayed full longer on potatoes.

What do you think of this sequence:

High-grain diet ==> Body assumes starvation mode ==> Triglyderides

rise ==> Leptin signaling is blocked ==> Body mishandles carbs and

fats ==> Obesity and diabetes results when there actually is plenty

of food

Since grains tend to be relied upon during famines, and they require

so much special handling to neutralize their antinutrients, perhaps

the cultural wisdom that says grains should only be used for

[fattening] cattle has some credence.

What do y'all think?

(Personally, we don't think our cattle do so well on grains. I

assume cattle should only be on grains if they are not expected to

live long.)
