Summary of Transcript:
This YouTube video discusses how visceral fat, which is the fat that is not visible, is metabolically active and makes decisions in our life. This can lead to inflammation and other bad health effects. The video lists several foods that can contribute to visceral fat, including hydrogenated soybean oil, ultra-processed foods, and low-fiber diets. It also mentions a study that found lower microbial diversity associated with higher amounts of visceral fat. The video is sponsored by Four Sigmatic, a company that produces mushroom coffee, which is said to increase productivity.

Summary
Foods That Contribute to Visceral Fat
Visceral fat is a type of fat that accumulates around the organs in the abdominal cavity. It can be dangerous because it increases the risk of developing chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Knowing which foods contribute to visceral fat can help you make healthier choices and reduce your risk of developing these conditions.
Hydrogenated Soybean Oil
Hydrogenated soybean oil is a type of trans fat found in many processed foods. Trans fats are created when hydrogen is added to vegetable oils to make them more solid. They are often used in margarine, fried foods, and baked goods. Eating trans fats has been linked to an increased risk of developing visceral fat, according to a review article published in Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes, and Essential Fatty Acids.
Ultra-Processed Foods
Ultra-processed foods are those that have been heavily processed with additives such as preservatives, flavorings, colorings, emulsifiers, and sweeteners. These types of foods are often high in calories and low in nutrients. According to a study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, eating ultra-processed foods has been linked to an increased risk of developing visceral fat.
Low-Fiber Diets
Eating a diet low in fiber has also been linked to an increased risk of developing visceral fat. Fiber helps keep you full longer and slows digestion so that your body can absorb more nutrients from food. A study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that people who ate diets low in fiber had higher amounts of visceral fat than those who ate diets high in fiber.
Microbial Diversity
A study published in Nature Communications found that lower microbial diversity was associated with higher amounts of visceral fat. This suggests that having a diverse microbiome may help protect against visceral fat accumulation by promoting healthy gut bacteria populations. Eating probiotic-rich fermented foods like yogurt or kimchi may help increase microbial diversity and reduce your risk of accumulating visceral fat.
