Nearly 90% of the foods in
the grocery stores contain hydrogenated oils. Determining the safety of these
oils can be misleading as Hydrogenated oils are processed vegetable oils and
vegetables are supposed to be one of the healthiest of foods to eat. It is the
processing which changes the healthy vegetable oil into a poisonous substance
known as Trans- fat.
Today all the cooking oils
are partially hydrogenated to increase the shelf time. The human body cannot
utilize the twisted molecules of the Trans- fat but still try to use them. They
stick to the artery walls and increase fatty deposits in ones liver and other
organs. This in turn increases blood clotting, strokes and heart attacks, and
cellulite.
A teaspoon of hydrogenated
fat has a half life in the body of 52 days compared to butter's 12 day half
life. This makes hydrogenated oil very difficult to eliminate once eaten. It
stays with you for nearly a year and a half.
Hydrogenated oil was first
invented in 1903 for Soap. In 1911 Proctor and Gamble came out with Crisco. No
one would buy it so they gave it away. After 1914 big companies became big
successes because they found that with hydrogenated oil in their product it
could sit on the shelves for months at room temperature, and it was cheap. This
meant big profits.
A dramatic increase in
disease was apparent during the 30's and 40's. First was a new disease that
seemed like diabetes but was not caused by a deficiency of insulin. The medical
profession did not know what caused the insulin to be resistant. They were
perplexed to what was this new disease and labeled it Diabetes II.
The next dramatic increase
was heart disease and then cancer.
It was apparent that there
was a correlation here to the introduction of the hydrogenated oil in our food
supply and the appearance of new health issues.
The fusing of oils and metal
could very well be the reason why high levels of aluminum are detected in
people, which is believed to cause Cancer and Alzheimer's. The largest age
group that heart disease seems to effect is surprisingly the 21-29 year old,
presumably from fast foods. Also attention deficit disorder, depression and
suicide are attributed to the use of hydrogenated oil.
Most European countries have
limited these oils to only 4% or banned them completely. Denmark has banned
them for over 50 years. They also have the lowest rates of heart disease,
cancer, breast cancer, diabetes, and auto immune disease in the world. They
also consume more saturated fat in the form of dairy product.
American food manufacturers
have manipulated our foods in a way that scientific research shows has
compromised our health. The only reason this substance is in our foods is so
the large manufacturers can make BIG PROFITS at our expense.
The best way to determine if
a food has Hydrogenated Oil is to read the Label. Another way this oil will be
hidden in the food: They list it as mono-dygliceride or it will say * adds a
nominal amount of fat.
Please consider removing this
substance from your diet for yourself and your loved ones.
Thank you for reading this
important information and start using extra virgin cold pressed oils....
