A member asked:
Will primose evening oil cause weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: It is carbohydrate that stimulates insulin release which causes increased fat deposition. Even though fat has more calories per gram, physiologically carbs cause more weight gain than oils or fats on general.
