When a Patient comes to me who is obese or suffering diabetes or related problems, I recommend that they remove all processed foods, added sugars, fructose syrup which is generally corn syrup and food that increase the VLDL production. General Practitioners talk a lot about cholesterol eg HDL, LDL and Triglycerides but never mention or test for the main culprit VLDL.( very low density lipds)
Omega 3 and 6 help the body to use the cholesterol made by the liver, to be used by the Liver. Where as high sugars in the blood is generally stored by the body in fat. It is excess sugar that make you fat.

I also advice them to take instead of sweeteners, Xylitol.
Xylitol as described in Wickipedia, (/ˈzaɪlɪtɒl/; Greek: ξύλον, xyl[on], "wood" + suffix -itol, used to denote sugar alcohols), categorized as a polyalcohol (alditol), has applications in hygiene and nutraceutical formulations and products. Xylitol has the formula (CHOH)3(CH2OH) and is an achiral isomer of pentane-1,2,3,4,5-pentol. Xylitol is used as a diabetic sweetener which is roughly as sweet as sucrose with 33% fewer calories. Unlike other natural or synthetic sweeteners, xylitol is actively beneficial for dental health by reducing caries to a third in regular use and helpful to remineralization, and also has been shown to reduce the incidence of acute middle ear infection.
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, and birch.
However, industrial production starts from xylan (a hemicellulose) extracted from hardwoods or corncobs, which is hydrolyzed into xylose and catalytically hydrogenated into xylitol.
Xylitol was discovered almost simultaneously by German and French chemists in the late 19th century, and was first popularized in Europe as a safe sweetener for people with diabetes that would not affect insulin levels. Xylitol is produced by hydrogenation of xylose, which converts the sugar (an aldehyde) into a primary alcohol. It can also be extracted from natural sources and is often harvested by tapping birch trees to produce birch sap. Its dental significance was researched in Finland in the early 1970s. There, scientists at Turku University demonstrated dental benefits in what became known as the "Turku sugar studies"
