Recently, trans-fat has been widely recognized in food supply by many food consumers, and for the first time last year, FDA ruled for the first time that trans fat isn't generally considered safe. Before the big news splash last year by FDA, foods laden with trans-fat is one of the most popular and widely consumed by people all over the world.
As most people dine outside more then a few times weekly, parents bringing kids out to fast foods restaurants overdosing on ice cream, french fries and fried foods, adults munching those pop corn in cinema with a large Coke, it doesn't matter your age or where you are, this is a deadly substance not recongnized by nature or human body. It's dangerous and we have been lied to by the media, vegetable oil and grains industry, and possibly our own government too.
Eating just a tiny amount of this nasty ingredient can increase your risk of heart disease and promote accumulation of visceral fat, a dangerous kind of belly fat that’s almost impossible to get rid of. Potbelly, love handles, call it what you want, those accumulated visceral fat will bring you a long list of health problems, including heart attack. Well, believe it or not, many of those foods that show “Zero Trans Fat” on the label actually contain a TON of it. Please bear in mind, when you eat just ONE handful of “Zero Trans Fat” biscuits or cookies, you poison your body with a couple grams of toxic, fat-storing trans fat, without you even being aware of it. Wait, hang on, this one is the real kicker. There is one common food in particular that’s probably in your pantry, right now, and it contains loads of trans fat that don’t appear ANYWHERE on the label. That’s right. NOT on the ingredients list, NOT in the nutrition facts, and not even on your favorite Internet food database. Nowhere, NONE.
This so called heart healthy food is sold in every supermarket and used for cooking in almost all restaurants. This high pressure, high temperature process destroys all the “heart-friendly” fats originally contained in the oil and transforms it into dangerous trans fats. According to a study by the University of Florida at Gainesville, your vegetable oil can contain up to 4.6% hidden trans fat that’s not on the label. Considering less then 1% is deadly enough to fry tons of your arteries, imagine eating your fries, junk foods, and foods cooked with vegetable oils, it is an almost perfect recipe for killing yourself, giving yourself heart disease in the process.
Another study from New Zealand in 1999 showed that subjects who ate french fries displayed immediate harm to their endothelial function of their arteries, going from a normal 7% dilation before eating the french fries to almost NO dilation at all (only 1%) after eating the french fries. Wonder why heart disease is the number one killer in most industrialized countries? Free radicals formed during the refining of vegetable oils create these “mutant” fats, which damage your cell membranes & chromosomes, and create massive inflammation in your body. These toxic deadly oils made you inflamed, fat, depleted of energy, asthmatic, poor aging, cancerous and of course, heart disease. It causes severe imbalances of Omega 3 and 6 ratio, and for most people having typical diet, it is easily 15:1 or 20:1 (Omega 6 : Omega 3). Being close to 1:1 would be a healthier balance between both fats ratio.
If you asked yourself how ancestors few generations ago cook their foods, you will have your answer plain and simple, without any endorsement or lied-to recommendation from so called dietitians and vegetable oils industry. Our ancestors 100-200 years ago used ghee, butter, lard and animals fats to cook and those are primarily saturated fats, which is stable in high temperature with ideal smoke point. Ancestral cooking has well been derailed and forgotten by the younger current generations, even my own parents. What a pity.
"Trans fats increase the shelf life of foods but decrease the shelf life of humans," said Dean Ornish.
