Oil as a cause of insulin resistancy / diabetes?

[MarciavD]

According to Wai it's necessary to combine sugar with fat (oil) to prevent bloodsugarspikes, etcetera.
On Internet there's a lot of information that states the opposite and blames oil to be the cause of insulin resistancy and diabetes. For example :

I find it difficult to distinguish what's true and what's not.

Who's wrong?

What do you think of the info presented in the diabetes article?
Usually in food discussions there is no differentiation between heated/cooked and raw, which makes distinguishing correct from false far more difficult.

Exactly.
The video is about vegans.
They state that the risk of cardiovascular diseases is lower in vegans.
They argue that "since they don't eat animal products, how do they get cardiovascular diseases at all".
Not knowing that raw animal food is not bad.
Not knowing that cooking it makes it bad (worst than cooked plant foods).
Not knowing that cooked plant foods are bad also.
So, their deduction is that:
No animal food, and still cardiovasuclar diseases?
Must be the oil.

A bit silly, no?

A bit silly, no?

Yes, it might be. It's too bad the difference between raw and cooked isn't made in a lot of studies.
So the whole thing about oil preventing insulin to reach the cells is not true?
I've also read this in information about (preventing and curing) candida. I maybe should stop reading about food and health, it's just
I'm so interested..

Xylitol is naturally found in low concentrations in the fibers of many fruits and vegetables, and can be extracted from various berries, oats, and mushrooms, as well as fibrous material such as corn husks and sugar cane bagasse.[7][8][9] However, industrial production starts from xylan (a hemicellulose) extracted from hardwoods[10] or corncobs, which is hydrolyzed into xylose and catalytically hydrogenated into xylitol.

In wild birds
Thirty Cape sugarbirds died within 30 minutes of drinking a solution made with xylitol, from a feeder in a garden in Hermanus, South Africa. It is suspected that it triggered a massive insulin release, causing an irreversible drop in blood sugar.[45]

Maybe the fruits and vegetables in the mediterranean diet released xylitol and that released insulin, and those insulin mopped up the sugar.
Oil is probably a confounding variable, and has nothing to do with the insulin process.
