While finally finishing off my last post on short chain "fatty" acids, I was reminded of a whopper of a post on Dr. Eades' blog that I came across a long ago on resistant starch and butyrate. This post, too, has been in my Drafts for a very long time waiting for some finishing touches.
I came across this whilst I was looking into soluble fiber, low carbing and stalling and discovered that for all intent and purposes, SCFA's are carbohydrates metabolically, not fats at all. On LC forums I was repeatedly told or reading that soluble fiber is not really a carb because it is converted to a fat therefore doesn't stimulate insulin (I've got a fair amount of info on this to summarize in a future post). So this was one of the first things I began inquiring after.
I had read several highly informative pieces by Eades through links in discussions, etc. But when I found and read this one, it perked my "fact check" bunny ears right on up. He seemed to get so caught up in his smug condescension of the RD in the video (unfortunately no longer available) that he was discussing, that he put out quite a bit of erroneous information of his own. Don't get me wrong, the misinformation she was putting out deserved criticism and correction. But Eades only compounded things with his analysis.
