What happens to dietary fats in the body? That is our talk, today-by Dr. Harold Gunatillake   Transcript: Dietary fats are triglycerides Triglycerides are composed of fatty acids Each molecule of triglyceride contains three fatty acids joined to an alcohol glycerol. Yes, fats you eat are triglycerides, and each molecule is composed of one glycerol molecule and three fatty acids. ‘Triglycerides are the main stores of body fat. They are stored in adipose cells, widely distributed over the body—mainly under the skin, around deep blood vessels, and in the abdominal cavity and to a lesser degree in association with muscles.’ So, when you see a guy fat as ever, you know where most of the fats are stored to give that shape: under the skin called subcutaneous fat and the protruding belly due to visceral fat. There are three kinds of macronutrients in the diet- we eat, Carbs, Fats and ...

Colombo 21 (Castle Hill, Sydney) – by Dr. Harold Gunatillake Transcript: Cooking exotic Sri Lankan foods, is it viewed as culture, or a creation of art? I would say it is both culture and art. Culture is derived from the ancient traditions in Sri Lanka, and the art is the way it is presented which is a creation of the Western world. Newly opened Sri Lankan Restaurant in Castle Hill a popular suburb of Sydney, thickly populated with migrants including Sri Lankans seems to be the ideal convenient spot to visit for the food lovers who love Sri Lankan foods. No worries about parking, plenty of spaces in the basement car park. I am at this newly opened restaurant in Castle Hill called the Colombo 21, and I must say the ambience is superb, and quite spacious compared to most other Asian restaurants. The offerings are plenty to choose from ...

New Promising Research to cure Diabetes type 2.-By Dr Harold Gunatillake Transcript: “The current type 2 diabetes medications available all work to reduce glucose absorption, or kick-start insulin production in the pancreas. But once you stop taking them, the disease comes back”. How can we reverse Diabetes type2? Is it possible? Yes, right now there is no cure. But it is if we focus on rejuvenation of beta cells in your pancreas that produces insulin, and not keep on increasing your insulin injections more and more to keep up with the insulin resistance.

Confusing vaccine efficacy-what does it mean to a lay person?-Dr. Harold Gunatillake “The vaccine trials with so many people dying with the Coronavirus, have been nothing short of a miracle.” There is some confusion in the interpretation of a vaccine when it is said the efficacy is 95%. That does not imply that 5% of the vaccinated people can get the infection. Vaccine efficacy is the percentage reduction in a disease in a group of people who received a vaccination in a clinical trial. Putting it another way the scientists can calculate how well a vaccine candidate works by looking at the difference in new cases of the disease between the group receiving a placebo and the group receiving the experimental vaccine. This is called vaccine efficacy. ...

Why do most diabetics worry about the morning fasting blood sugar being high?-Written by Dr. Harold Gunatillake FRCS, MBBS, AM (Sing), FICS (US) FIACS (US) Fasting blood sugar is a test done on your early morning wake up time check, or when you visit the collecting centres to give blood for biochemical screening, fasting for 12 hours. Fasting blood sugar is more diagnostic to check whether you have excess blood sugar. That would be the routine test your doctor will request on your annual blood check, sometimes with the HbA1C test If it is on the high side your doctor refers you for a random plasma glucose test or oral glucose tolerance test. The oral glucose tolerance test is the gold standard for diagnosing type 2 diabetes. If your fasting level is higher than 126 mg/L (7 mmol/L) you have diabetes.
