Dolphin’s Diet Helps Diabetics

What do dolphins, butter, and Diabetes have in common? By a far stretch, a fatty acid called heptadecanoic acid is the common denominator that links these three completely unrelated things.  A new study led by the National Marine Mammal Foundation (NMMF) reveals that dolphins with higher levels of heptadecanoic acid in their blood had lower levels of insulin and triglycerides.  Dolphins with low levels of this acid were fed a special diet of fish and the results show a direct link between the diet high in heptadecanoic acid and lowered levels of metabolic syndrome, which is comparable to Prediabetes in humans.  Researchers theorize that the reduction, or entire removal, of whole-fat dairy products from one’s diet may be contributing to the global diabetes pandemic.  What does this mean for you?  Eating a well-balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids prepared by a skilled in-home caregiver would be a great start!
