Mary Enig, PhD - "... Because polyunsaturates are highly
subject to rancidity, they increase the body's need for vitamin E and other
antioxidants. Excess consumption of vegetable oils is especially damaging
to the reproductive organs and the lungs—both of which are sites for huge
increases in cancer in the US. In test animals, diets high in polyunsaturates
from vegetable oils inhibit the ability to learn, especially under conditions
of stress; they are toxic to the liver; they compromise the integrity of
the immune system; they depress the mental and physical growth of infants;
they increase levels of uric acid in the blood; they cause abnormal fatty
acid profiles in the adipose tissues; they have been linked to mental decline
and chromosomal damage; they accelerate aging. Excess consumption of polyunsaturates
is associated with increasing rates of cancer, heart disease and weight
gain; excess use of commercial vegetable oils interferes with the production
of prostaglandins leading to an array of complaints ranging from autoimmune
disease to PMS. Disruption of prostaglandin production leads to an increased
tendency to form blood clots, and hence myocardial infarction, which has
reached epidemic levels in America.
Vegetable oils are more toxic when heated. One study reported that polyunsaturates
turn to varnish in the intestines. A study by a plastic surgeon found that
women who consumed mostly vegetable oils had far more wrinkles than those
who used traditional animal fats. A 1994 study appearing in the Lancet
showed that almost three quarters of the fat in artery clogs is unsaturated.
The "artery clogging" fats are not animal fats but vegetable oils. Those
who have most actively promoted the use of polyunsaturated vegetable oils
as part of a Prudent Diet are well aware of their dangers. In 1971, William
B. Kannel, former director of the Framingham study, warned against including
too many polyunsaturates in the diet. A year earlier, Dr. William Connor
of the American Heart Association issued a similar warning, and Frederick
Stare reviewed an article which reported that the use of polyunsaturated
oils caused an increase in breast tumors. And Kritchevsky, way back in
1969, discovered that the use of corn oil caused an increase in atherosclerosis...."
The
Oiling of America
The
media and health professionals are loudly proclaiming the health risks
of trans fat, because even the smallest amounts in your diet can raise
your risk of heart disease and other health conditions. But trans fats—especially
from partially hydrogenated oils—are found everywhere! From the grocery
store shelves to restaurant menus, trans fat works its way into the foods
we eat and jeopardizes our health. Get the Trans Fat Out shows you how
you can identify and avoid these damaging fats—without sacrificing taste
or convenience. Inside you’ll find all the information you need to protect
you and your family from trans fat, including:
• Key health and nutrition information on the risks of trans fat
• Tips on grocery shopping for healthy products
• Delicious recipes with zero trans fat
• Information on how to stay healthy when eating at restaurants
• A complete, easy-to-understand guide to the trans fat content of
many common products and menu items from fast food chains

the Trans Fat Out: 601 Simple Ways to Cut the Trans Fat Out of Any Diet
The Oiling of America!
by Thomas Smith
Here in America, conventional wisdom is trumpeted into our perception
through the most controlled media the world has ever seen. Both Hitler
and Goebels would turn over in their graves in a frenzy of jealousy if
they could see the way modern Americans respond to modern propaganda technology.
Many Americans easily believe the most unbelievable things when they feel
that they are expected to do so. Partly because technology is widely seen
to be something that laymen cannot understand, we are led to accept astonishingly
bad science as if it were gospel.
We either don’t care or don’t realize that widespread popular opinion
is always designed and manufactured; somebody pays to have opinion established.
It costs a great deal of money to install a cultural belief, even in a
gullible population.
Nowhere is bad science more deceptively contrived and universally successful
than in the medical consequences of uninformed food choices in our grocery
store. One of the worst of the deceptions found there is in the fats and
oils section of the store. An epidemic of chronic degenerative disease
is the price we’re paying for not independently informing ourselves of
important health facts.
Although
fats and oils are an important, even essential part of a healthy diet,
we are told that "fat cause's heart disease" and that we must reduce our
fat consumption. The fact is that, historically Americans have averaged
between 30% and 43% of their caloric consumption from fats and oils for
well over 100 years. Since our Federally led "war on fat" in the 1970’s,
fat consumption has actually decreased below these historic levels. Yet
degenerative disease has reached epidemic proportions in the last fifty
years, with each year being worse than the one before it. Obesity has become
epidemic only in the last twenty-five years.
Clearly, there is something very wrong with the engineered food propaganda
that we’re being fed. Something is also very wrong with the engineered
fats and oils that we’re being fed.
Not coincidentally, it was about sixty years ago that America’s switchover
to engineered fats and oils was greatly accelerated. Previously the nation
had consumed a balance of natural animal and vegetable fats and oils. This
switchover from a mix of animal and vegetable fats and oils to engineered
vegetable fats and oils is now well correlated with the epidemic of degenerative
disease that we now experience.
This isn’t to say that animal fat is a health food; animal fat is not
a health food. However, a healthy body can metabolize a surprising amount
of animal fat before succumbing to disease if it has a good daily
supply of essential fatty acids, EFA’s. Some ethnic cultures, particularly
above the artic circle, thrived for generations on a diet of 60% animal
fat. Before the widespread use of refrigerators saturated fat was an important
adjunct to diet because it is a good "keeper".
The only fats and oils from any animal that are genuinely nutritious
are the unsaturated fish oils. Fish oil, in addition to containing high
levels of Omega three oils also contain EPA and DHA. These are oils which
a healthy human body can make from precursors; but, which an unhealthy
human body has difficulty making. Here in America, virtually everyone
who buys their food from a grocery store is seriously deficient in EFA’s.
We suffer a double whammy by consuming large amounts of animal fat and
engineered transfatty acids while at the same time undermining the body's
natural ability to metabolize them by a chronic lack of EFA’s. This dual
assault lies at the very heart of our degenerative disease epidemic.
About thirty years ago another important change in consumer fats and
oils took place; this is positively correlated to the explosive epidemic
of Obesity. All of the remaining sources of Coconut oil were removed from
American processed food. The last item to have its coconut oil replaced
by artificial ingredients was the non-dairy creamer that once was available
for our coffee. Coconut oil is semisolid at room temperatures, which is
why it was originally used as a component of margarine. It also happens
to be an easily metabolized fat that revs up our cellular metabolism by
about 25%. It great for provoking weight loss. When we lost it, coincidentally
everybody started to have weight problems.
Ever vigilant, it was then that our Federal officials immediately declared
war on fat.
Another really disastrous change in the food chain was the removal of
flax oil from the grocery store. Archer Daniels Midland was the last to
distribute this vital oil and they stopped doing so in 1950 when they switched
over to milling flour.
Stein et al, in their research at the Department of Internal Medicine,
Center for Diabetes Research at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical
Center Dallas Texas have conclusively demonstrated the vital importance
of oils that contain the essential Omega three fatty acids. These Omega
three’s as well as an important Omega six are the EFA’s LNA and LA. When
we lack them in our diet, we suffer degenerative disease.
These changes and more, are made with the specific intent of improving
shelf life of the engineered fats and oils. The food industry is a commercial
industry; it is all about money. It is not about human health. It is much
cheaper to procure and to hydrogenate inferior oils like Cottonseed oil
than to distribute fresh healthy oils. This is why toxic fats and oils
have replaced the healthy oils that our parents enjoyed.
The degenerative disease epidemic that wracks the nation came coincidentally
with the introduction of engineered fats and oils. It is the type
of fats and oils that we consume that is directly correlated to the rise
of epidemic degenerative disease; it is not the amount of fats and oils
that we eat that causes the problem. It is by chronically consuming
the fats and oils that cause degenerative disease that we impair our ability
to consume healthy fats and oils. We also impair our ability to consume
carbohydrates and thus become Diabetic and Obese.
With the twin impairments of our ability to metabolize both carbohydrates
and lipids the human metabolism goes into a major emergency compensatory
mode every time we eat. In this mode, it virtually self destructs. The
resulting damage is expressed in literally hundreds of symptoms.
An important facet of this emergency compensatory mode that the body
assumes is a severe disruption in the endocrine system. This disruption
has been variously called "Diabetes", "Type II Diabetes", "Insulin
Resistant Diabetes", "Hyperinsulinemia", "Insulin Resistant Hyperinsulinemia",
"Syndrome X" and many other names as well. (Holistic
solutions for diabetic conditions)
There are hundreds of symptoms of the disease. Some are: Atherosclerosis,
Heart Failure, Stroke (both Hemorrhagic and Ischemic), Kidney Failure,
Liver Failure, Elevated Blood Pressure, Elevated Cholesterol, Elevated
Adrenal Hormones, Obesity, Elevated Lepton levels, Neuropathy, Retinopathy,
Cataracts, Male Impotence, Gangrene, Poor wound Healing......and too many
more to enumerate.
In 1949 the medical community, in a stated effort to focus resources
on our exploding epidemic of disease, completely reorganized themselves.
They divided all of the symptoms that appeared in the population into various
medical specialty groups. Instead of the general practitioner we now had
the Heart Specialist, the Endocrinologist, the Hepatic and Biliary Specialist
as well as numerous additional new specialists.. Each specialist focused
on his proprietary set of symptoms and nobody cured the disease anymore.
Nobody, except a few obscure scientists, were even willing to admit
that we had only one disease epidemic with many symptoms. Instead we defined
enough different diseases to keep all of our specialist in cake and caviar.
The adamant refusal to even discuss the "cure" word by todays physicians
dates back to this period. The only time we hear the "cure" word mentioned
anymore is when a tax free foundation is soliciting money. This is when
they tell you the "cure" for their proprietary disease is just around the
corner.
Today nothing that the Heart Specialist does cures Heart Disease. Heart
Disease, like Diabetes and many, many similar systemic failures, is due
largely, if not entirely, to the consequences of bad engineering in our
fats and oils industry.
The transfats and other toxic isomers in our engineered fats and oils
are well understood to damage our cellular membranes, to interfere with
cellular respiration, to inhibit glucose transport, to set in motion consequences
that corrode our arteries, damage our eyesight, devastate our kidneys,
destroy our venous system, and directly cause the large array of similar
systemic problems. There is even evidence to link these engineered fats
and oils to our incredible Cancer epidemic through their interference with
cellular respiration. These toxic fats and oils have even been linked to
epidemic ADHD in our schools.
It is important to know enough about fats and oils to be able to make
kitchen use of them and to make intelligent food selections of these all
important substances. It's really not complicated, when information is
presented with the intent to inform instead of to deceive.
The difference between fats and oils is seen most clearly in their melting
point. If it is solid at room temperatures it's a fat; if liquid at room
temperature, it's an oil. The term lipid is used to describe both.
A lipid molecule consists of a glycerol backbone to which is attached
a number of fatty acids and sometimes other types of molecules. Many of
our edible, and not so edible, lipids consist of three fatty acids attached
to a glycerol backbone. These are called triglycerides.
Each of the three fatty acids in a triglyceride may be saturated or
unsaturated. If it is saturated there are no double bonds. If it is unsaturated,
there are one or more double bonds.
All fatty acids, saturated or unsaturated, consist of strings of carbon
atoms to which are attached the hydrogen atoms to the carbon atoms along
the chain. The end is typically terminated in an acid molecule. The saturated
fat, having all of its binding slots filled, has no double bonds and looks
like a symmetrical straight chain. These chains of carbon atoms typically
have between two and twenty-eight carbon atoms in the chain. The longer
chains are solid fats and the shorter chains are liquid oils. Their melting
points are proportional to their chain length..
The saturated fats are used by the body for Membrane stiffening, Cholesterol
manufacture, certain other purposes and as fuel for the cell. Most of the
needed saturated fats may be made by the body from other unsaturated oils
that we consume when we consume insufficient saturated fat.
Most of the important action in the human body is with the unsaturated
oils. These oils come in different geometries. Because of the double bonds
at the locations characteristic of the unsaturated oils, these molecules
are not necessarily straight line molecules as are the saturated lipids.
At the particular point where a double bond exists, the molecule becomes
"bent" in a natural "Cis" configuration.
These "bends", both the number of bends and the location of the bends,
become very important to the metabolic processes of the body. These bends
interact with the geometry of the enzyme systems of our body so that these
fatty acids can be properly metabolized by these enzymes. If the right
number of bends are in the right place, our enzymes recognize the fatty
acid and the body knows what to do with it.
When the unsaturated fatty acid, in its triglyceride configuration,
remains in the seed or nut from which it originated it remains in the Cis
configuration. When it is refined from the seeds and nuts by modern expeller
pressing and deodorizing technology, it is severely damaged.
In particular some of it is totally fragmented so that our enzyme systems
cannot recognize it as a food. Some of it is transformed into toxic isomers
that actually poison our metabolism. Some is transformed into the "Trans"
configuration. With few exceptions, these are the "Refined" and "Polyunsaturated"
and "Monounsaturated" oils that appear in pristine clear plastic bottles
on room temperature grocery shelves.
From my own research of the scientific literature when I was forced
to find a cure for my own Type II Diabetes, I know that this Trans configuration
is a major cause of Type II Diabetes. I also know that the complete removal
of these toxic fats and oils and the consumption of therapeutic quantities
of the EFA’s rapidly leads to reversal of Type II Diabetes..
The Trans configuration of the unsaturated oil, unlike the Cis, has
a straight line geometry that does not operate with our enzyme systems.
It is similar to but not identical to saturated fatty acids. As a result,
transfats are used for membrane repair and stored as body fat.
When used for membrane repair they cause every membrane in the seventy
trillion cells of our body to become stiff and sticky. This is a mechanism
that severely limits glucose transport and directly causes Type II Diabetes.
After these unsaturated fatty acids come out of the refining or hydrogenation
process, virtually all of the Cis geometry is destroyed. It is this Cis
geometry that enables our body to properly metabolize the fatty acid. It
is this Cis geometry that causes it to become rancid very quickly at room
temperatures. It is the destruction of this Cis geometry that enables the
retailer to keep it on a room temperature grocery shelf for extended periods
without the oil going rancid.
When an unsaturated oil goes rancid, oxygen molecules attach to the
double bonds along the carbon chain. This is an endothermic reaction; that
is, it requires some energy from the environment. It can get this energy
by being heated or by light photons impinging upon the molecule. This is
why it is important to refrigerate these oils and to package them in opaque
containers. When the oil goes rancid it has an unmistakable, disagreeable
taste.
Unlike unsaturated fats and oils, saturated fats and oils, having no
double bonds, do not get rancid easily. They are good "keepers" without
refrigeration.. Because of this they, historically, have been a preferred
food before refrigeration became available. Trans fats, being much like
saturated fats do not go rancid as easily as their Cis counterparts.
Always look for cold pressed unrefined oils; when in doubt call the
manufacturer and try to talk to a knowledgeable person. All pressing technology
raises the temperature of the oil that is pressed from nuts and seeds.
How fast they operate the press to achieve large daily volumes has a great
deal to do with the quality of the oil. Whether or not the press is set
up to exclude oxygen during the pressing cycle is important also.
All fats and oils are mixtures. One never finds a pure saturated or
unsaturated lipid. Most oils contain a mixture of several different unsaturated
and saturated oils. When buying or using fats and oils it is useful to
have some understanding of the type of lipids that they contain.
Olive
oil contains about 8-10% Omega six unsaturated oil, about 1% or less Omega
three unsaturated oil and the rest Omega nines and saturated oils. The
Omega six and trace amounts of Omega three are essential. The small amount
of Omega three necessitates having another source of Omega three. Olive
oil also contains a great deal of other, non-lipid, nutrition. Because
of its unsaturated content it is easily damaged and destroyed; it is not
a good cooking oil. If you must cook with it, mix it 50-50 with water.
The water will prevent the temperature from getting high enough to ruin
the oil. If the oil starts to smoke it is ruined and has become inedible.
Because the oil is obtained from the soft pulp of the olive, it is not
usually damaged in pressing. Because virgin olive oil is from the first
pressing it is produced with the lowest pressing temperatures. Later pressings
from the same olive pulp are therefore less desirable.
Corn oil is often solvent extracted; that is, it is extracted from the
corn seed with chemistry which then must be removed from the mix. It is
then refined to remove the toxic chemistry used to extract it. It is most
often rancid in the grocery store. If one can find cold pressed unrefined
corn oil that is not rancid it is a good source of Omega six’s. It contains
no essential Omega three’s. In addition to the Omega six’s it contains
mostly Omega nine’s and saturated fatty acids. At its best it is a mediocre
oil; at its worst it is toxic.
Canola oil derives its name from Canadian oil. It is a rape seed oil.
Originally great controversy raged because rape seed oil contains a lot
of Eurcic acid and this was felt to be toxic. Canada went through a major
development program to develop low Eurcic acid rape seed. It is this low
Eurcic acid rape seed oil that is marketed today as Canola oil. After this
it was discovered that Eurcic acid is not toxic; indeed, it may even be
beneficial. This is a monounsaturated oil that also contains both essential
fatty acids (about 7% Omega three and 30% Omega six). The Omega six’s that
it contains can be found in many oils. This oil is always sold in its refined
state. Even though it contains some of both essential fatty acids it is
questionable because of its refined state. A good example of a heavily
engineered oil that one should question closely.
Flax oil is very high in the essential Omega three fatty acids. It is
usually sold unrefined and can be found in the refrigerator in the health
food store. I have never seen it in a grocery store. It is an excellent
therapeutic oil for Omega three deficiency; a deficiency that is widespread
in America. Since Omega three and Omega six oils should be taken in proportion,
long term use, after the therapeutic interval has passed, necessitates
using it in conjunction with an oil that is high in Omega six’s. Perilla
oil is another oil that is high in Omega three’s and, in capsule form,
is an excellent oil for Omega three maintenance after the therapeutic interval
is over.
Coconut oil contains small amounts of Omega six’s and nines but is about
90% saturated vegetable fat. It is the best all around cooking oil by far.
It also has the interesting biochemical property of reving up the metabolism
and causing weight loss.
Safflower oil, Sunflower oil, sesame oil, rice bran oil, and a few others
are high in Omega six’s, Omega nine’s and saturated fat.They naturally
contain antioxidants that tend to protect them on the shelf. When found
in the unrefined state in opaque containers they are generally good oils.
They complement high Omega three oils such as flax oil, Perilla oil and
hemp oil.
Cottonseed oil has been well known as toxic for almost 100 years. It
is cheap. It appears as an additive to much of out frozen, canned and processed
food. It is quite important to actively and consciously avoid buying any
food that contains this toxic material. Read food labels at least
as carefully as the lawyer that wrote them.
Soy oil, when it is unrefined, is an excellent source of EFA’s, Lecithin,
Phytosterols and many other good and nutritious natural food factors. Unfortunately,
it is has come into question because in also contains Phytoestrogens. These
are reputed to have negative effects on the hormonal systems of both men
and women. This is an oil that is found in many processed food items and
is currently gaining prominence in fats and oils advertising. Proceed with
care when evaluating this oil and deciding to consume any food product
that contains it.
Suitable cooking lipids are saturated fats. Being saturated they do
not have a Cis geometry that can be destroyed easily by heat. Butter and
coconut oil are good nutritious cooking lipids.
Unsaturated oils are not cooking oils. Saturated fats are for
cooking
One of the most blatant of the frauds found in the fats and oils industry
is their marketing use of the terms "Monounsaturated" and "Polyunsaturated".
Unsaturated oils in general can, and often do, have more than one double
bond location. For example both of the EFA’s, LNA and LA, have three unsaturated
locations. They differ in where these locations are along the chain. The
salesmen that trumpet "Monounsaturated" and "Polyunsaturated" do not tell
you that these oils are refined and the that most of the "Monounsaturates"
and "Polyunsaturates" are of the Trans geometry. The reason they do not
tell you is because the law does not require them to tell you. When you
buy a refined Polyunsaturated or Monounsaturated oil from a room temperature
grocery shelf you are buying transfatty acids for your table.
The undamaged Cis geometries require constant refrigeration, turn rancid
quite easily at room temperature and come in opaque containers.
One more important point should be mentioned. There is in addition to
modern refining technology another excellent way to engineer an oil to
be really cheap to manufacture and to be really toxic to the human metabolism;
that is by "hydrogenating" it. When an unsaturated oil is hydrogenated
Hydrogen molecules are supplied in a high temperature process to bind to
the unfilled double bonds of the carbon chain. This causes the oil to become
less liquid and more solid like a saturated fat. This technique is used
to adjust the texture of table fats like Margarine. It produces a margarine
product that often contains 40% transfatty acids; the transfatty acid content
sometimes goes as high as 60%.
When buying table fats and oils for your family, or even for your pet,
proceed with caution. Always look first in the refrigerator for cold pressed,
unrefined oils in opaque containers. Chronic use of toxic fats and oils
will quite reliably produce a whole litany of degenerative disease as you
approach your middle years. Don’t believe the sales pitches from companies
with millions in revenue at stake from these products; read labels, become
informed.

LAWSUIT FILED
IN FEDERAL COURT - 5-1-2003 - A lawsuit has been filed in Federal Court
against a major food company to halt the sales and marketing of foods containing
hydrogenated
oils. Finally steps are being taken to take these deadly oils out of foods.
Trans
Fats: the Hidden Killer in our Food
Book Reviewer "I've long wondered why everyone over the age of 40 seems
to be on Lipitor. Lipitor is in fact the Number 1 selling drug in the world.
TRANS FATS by Judith Shaw has answered that question. Our government is
in bed with the food and pharmaceutical industries. It allows the food
industry to profit by poisoning our food with partially hydrogenated oils
- even though the human body's tolerance level is zero. And, it allows
the pharmaceutical industry to profit enormously from the sale of cholesterol-lowering
drugs prescribed for people suffering from a lifetime of toxic trans fat
build-up. Sincere thanks to Judith Shaw for bringing this to our attention
in such a concise, readable way. Insincere thanks to our US Government
for betraying its citizens once again. As Ronald Reagan said, "Government
is not the solution to our problems; Government IS the problem." We need
to begin holding our elected scoundrels accountable for their duplicity!"
What's
Wrong with Partially Hydrogenated Oils?
Unlike butter or virgin coconut oil, hydrogenated oils contain high
levels of trans fats. A trans fat is an otherwise normal fatty acid that
has been "transmogrified", by high-heat processing of a free oil. The fatty
acids can be double-linked, cross-linked, bond-shifted, twisted, or messed
up in a variety of other ways. Trans fats are poisons, just like arsenic
or cyanide. They interfere with the metabolic processes of life by taking
the place of a natural substance that performs a critical function. And
that is the definition of a poison. Your body has no defense against them,
because they never even existed in our two billion years of evolution --
so we've never had the need or the opportunity to evolve a defense against
them. Partially hydrogenated oils will not only kill you in the long term
by producing diseases like multiple sclerosis and allergies that lead to
arthritis, but in the meantime they will make you fat! more
Mary Enig, PhD - "One reason the polyunsaturates cause so many
health problems is that they tend to become oxidized or rancid when subjected
to heat, oxygen and moisture as in cooking and processing. Rancid oils
are characterized by free radicals—that is, single atoms or clusters with
an unpaired electron in an outer orbit. These compounds are extremely reactive
chemically. They have been characterized as "marauders" in the body for
they attack cell membranes and red blood cells and cause damage in DNA/RNA
strands, thus triggering mutations in tissue, blood vessels and skin. Free
radical damage to the skin causes wrinkles and premature aging;
free radical damage to the tissues and organs sets the stage for tumors;
free radical damage in the blood vessels initiates the buildup of plaque.
Is it any wonder that tests and studies have repeatedly shown a high correlation
between cancer and heart disease with the consumption of polyunsaturates?
32 New evidence links exposure to free radicals with premature aging, with
autoimmune diseases such as arthritis and with Parkinson's
disease, Lou Gehrig's disease, Alzheimer's and cataracts. Vegetable oils
are more toxic when heated. One study reported that polyunsaturates turn
to varnish in the intestines. A study by a plastic surgeon found that women
who consumed mostly vegetable oils had far more wrinkles than those who
used traditional animal fats. A 1994 study appearing in the Lancet showed
that almost three quarters of the fat in artery clogs is unsaturated."
The
Skinny on Fats
The Journal of the American
Medical Association recently reported that as many as 106,000 deaths occur
annually in US hospitals due to adverse reactions to prescription drugs
that are properly prescribed by physicians that use them as directed by
the drug companies. Even worse, the National Council for Patient Information
and Education reported that an additional 125,000 deaths occur annually
due to adverse reactions to drugs that the physician never should have
prescribed. The annual death toll from synthetic prescription drugs, both
from the correctly prescribed and the incorrectly prescribed, amounts to
about 231,000 deaths every year. To put this into perspective, this is
the equivalent of a world trade center disaster every week for over a year
and a half or the crash of two fully loaded 747 aircraft every day of the
year. Dangers of Modern Medicine
Cholesterol Truth
- The Dangers of Low Blood Cholesterol and Cholesterol-lowering Medication
The idea that too much animal fat and a high cholesterol is dangerous
to your heart and vessels is nothing but a myth. Cholesterol is not a deadly
poison, but a substance vital to the cells of all mammals. Researchers
at the University San Diego School of Medicine UCSD point out that high
cholesterol in those over 75 years of age is protective, rather than harmful
and that low cholesterol is a risk factor for heart arrhythmias (leading
cause of death if heart attack occurs). Researchers from the University
of Denmark report that about 15% of cholesterol lowering drug users over
the age of 50 will suffer from nerve damage as direct result of using statin
drugs. USA Today reported that Statins have killed and injured more people
than the government has acknowledged
The idea that too much animal fat and a high cholesterol is dangerous
to your heart and vessels is nothing but a myth. Here are some astonishing
and frightening facts. Cholesterol is not a deadly poison, but a substance
vital to the cells of all mammals. There are no such things as good or
bad cholesterol, but mental stress, physical activity and change of body
weight may influence the level of blood cholesterol. A high cholesterol
is not dangerous by itself, but may reflect an unhealthy condition, or
it may be totally innocent. Your body produces three to four times more
cholesterol than you eat. The production of cholesterol increases when
you eat little cholesterol and decreases when you eat much. This explains
why the ”prudent” diet cannot lower cholesterol more than on average a
few per cent. The reason why laymen, doctors and most scientists have been
misled is because opposing and disagreeing results are systematically ignored
or misquoted in the scientific press.
F. Batmanghelidj, M.D. - "We in the medical profession, totally
oblivious of the vital roles of cholesterol in the body, have been duped
into thinking that it is this substance that causes arterial disease of
the heart and the brain. The pharmaceutical industry has capitalized on
the slogan of bad cholesterol and has produced toxic-to-the-body chemicals
that minimally lower the level of cholesterol in the body and in the process
cause liver damage to thousands of people, some who die as a result of
using the medication." Bad
Cholesterol: A Myth and a Fraud!
Uffe Ravnskov, MD, PhD - "The idea that too much animal fat and
a high cholesterol is dangerous to your heart and vessels is nothing but
a myth." Here
are some astonishing and frightening facts.
Myths And Truths about other Fats
Dr.
Mark A. Hyman, M.D - "For decades, people were warned to avoid fats
at all costs. But we now know that the type of fat you eat is more important
than the amount of fat you eat. The new science of nutrigenomics traces
the biological impact of good fats, like the omega-3
fatty acids (contained primarily in fish, fish oils, walnuts, flax
and hemp seeds, and a limited number of other foods) - and bad fats, like
processed vegetable oils and the trans-fats in many processed foods. The
recommendation to eat foods high in omega-3 fatty acids is old news. What's
new is the discovery of the weight-loss secret behind that recommendation.
We now know that good fats turn on your body's fat-burning genes and bad
fats turn them off. When you consume EPA or DHA, both omega-3 fatty acids,
they access a metabolic gateway (the PPAR receptor) to activate genes that
increase your metabolism, help you burn fat, and assist you in processing
sugar more effectively so food won't get stored as fat. At the same time,
unhealthy
trans-fats act as a metabolic roadblock to weight loss. Controlling
your brain chemistry by eating good fats and avoiding bad fats can help
you curb your appetite and boost your health. But it's just one of the
seven metabolic keys to weight loss. The
Right Fats Can Make You Thin for Life
Eat
Fat, Lose Weight : The Right Fats Can Make You Thin for Life
by Ann Louise Gittleman,
Forget low fat diets forever! 54% of Americans are overweight and 22%
of them are considered obese. With many of us practicing a low fat diet
why are we still gaining weight? According to Ann Louise Gittleman, It's
not too much fat in our diets, but too little of the right kind of fat.
In reality, many Americans are suffering from a massive fat deficiency
that is contributing to the rise of obesity, diabetes, arthritis, breast
cancer, depression, immune system.
Some causes of obesity and or sudden weight gain may include: disturbance
in thyroid function; glandular malfunctions; diabetes; hypoglycemia; hyperinsulinemia;
emotional tension or stress; anxiety; depression; allergies. learn

Coconut Oil is also a low-calorie
fat with health benefits
We often think that the less fat we eat, the better. However, you don’t
necessarily need to reduce your fat intake, you simply need to choose a
fat that is better for you, one that doesn’t contribute to weight gain.
You can lose unwanted body fat by eating more saturated fat (in the form
of coconut oil) and less polyunsaturated fat (processed vegetable oils).
One of the remarkable things about coconut oil is that it can help you
lose weight. Yes, there is a dietary fat that can actually help you take
off unwanted pounds. Coconut oil can quite literally be called a low-fat
fat.

Understanding
Fats and Oils : Your Guide to Healing With Essential Fatty Acids by
Michael T. Murray, Jade Beutler
Healthy
Oils That Can Save Your Life
"The human body cannot function properly without two polyunsaturated
fats - linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid. These fatty acids, which are
found in Flaxseed Oil are truly essential to normal cell structure and
body function. Some Conditions Improved by Omega-3 Oils: High Cholesterol
Levels - Prevention of Strokes and Heart Attacks - Angina - High Blood
Pressure - Arthritis - Multiple Sclerosis - Psoriasis and Eczema - Cancer
Prevention and Treatment - Allergies - Asthma - Calmness Under Stress -

Flax
Oil as a True Aid Against Arthritis, Heart Infarction, Cancer and Other
Diseases By Dr. Johanna Budwig
A must read, Dr. Budwig, seven-time Nobel prize nominee, is considered
by many to be the foremost authority on fats and healing. Discover what
flax oil will do for your body and learn about saturated and unsaturated
fats.
Dr. Budwig, has been treating cancer of all kinds with nothing but cottage
cheese and Flaxseed Oil for over 16 years. She says that people with cancer
have blood that is low in Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids and the blood
has a greenish cast. Flaxseed oil is 56% Omega 3 and 16% Omega 6. Recently
I read that most people have blood that is 80% deficient in Omega 3. Dr.
Budwig has taken patients sometimes given only hours to live and restored
them to health. Doctors had attempted to treat patients with sources of
Omega 3 but had not been consistently successful.
Flax:
The Super Food! Not only does flax contain important essential fats,
omega-3s and omega-6s, but it's also rich in lignans, which boast antibacterial,
antiviral and antifungal properties and may play a vital role in the prevention
of breast, prostate, uterine and colon cancers. Includes over 80 delicious
recipes using flaxseeds and flax oil.
The Vital Role of Essential
Fatty Acids For Pregnant and Nursing Women
Recently it has been discovered that the Omega-3 fats are necessary
for the complete development of the human brain during pregnancy and the
first two years of life. The Omega-3 fat and its derivative, DHA (docosahexaenoic
acid), is so essential to a child's development that if a mother and infant
are deficient in it, the child's nervous system and immune system may never
fully develop, and it can cause a lifetime of unexplained emotional, learning,
and immune system disorders. more
Superimmunity
for Kids
by Leo Galland, M.D. with Dian Dincin Buchman, Ph.D.
Through his research and clinical work, Dr. Galland has found that essential
fatty acids (EFAs) are critical to a healthy immune system. He says "we
are in the midst of a nationwide epidemic of EFA deficiencies that is undermining
the health of our children." EFAs are essential because your child needs
them to be healthy and his/her body can't make them. They must be supplied
by the diet. There are numerous health problems associated with EFA deficiencies.
These include hair loss, eczema-like skin eruptions, susceptibility to
infections, arthritis-like conditions, liver or kidney degeneration, growth
retardation and vision or learning problems.
It's important to know about the different types of fats so you can
give your child the good fats and avoid the harmful ones. Fatty acids come
in two varieties: saturated and unsaturated. Saturated fats come from animal
products such as meat and dairy. These fats are not essential since your
child's body makes all (s)he needs. All saturated fats are totally unnecessary
and unhealthy. They just clog up your child's arteries and interfere with
his/her ability to use EFAs efficiently. Most vegetable oils are unsaturated.
But be very careful about vegetable oils. Not all unsaturated fatty acids
are essential. If your child eats a lot of unsaturated fatty acids that
are nonessential, they can interfere (even more than saturated fats) with
his/her body's ability to use the EFAs. more

The
Omega Diet: The Lifesaving Nutritional Program Based on the Diet of the
Island of Crete
by Artemis P. Simopoulos
Is it really possible that eating more fat is the key to better health?
It depends on the fat, according to Dr. Artemis Simopoulos. The Omega Plan
shows, in great detail, the difference between omega-3 fats, those found
in fish and some green vegetables, and omega-6 fats, which are found in
most meats and vegetable oils. The former have heart-protective and cancer-preventive
properties; the latter, he writes, cause obesity, heart disease, cancer,
depression, and a host of other ills. Omega-3 fats are at the heart of
his plan, along with ample servings of fruits and vegetables.

...with flax oil, borage oil, evening primrose oil, herbs, raw food,
homeopathy, and more Read the story...
To maintain my health I take everyday 1 tablespoon of Flaxseed oil,
1 tablespoon of black cumin seed oil, and one
tablespoon of Evening Primrose Oil mixed in my fresh
vegetable juice. I also use generous amount (about a couple of tablespoons)
of extra virgin cold pressed olive oil on my salad everyday. When I cook,
I only use grapeseed oil or coconut
oil becaue these oils are great for our health and they will not smoke,
burn or splatter like other cooking oils. This is due to their high smoke
point, approximately 320° F. Shirley
where
to purchase these oils
Grapeseed
oil: a wonderful oil for health and for cooking
Grapeseed oil can raise HDL or "good" Cholesterol and can lower LDL
or the "bad" Cholesterol
In
two studies conducted by Dr. David T. Nash, a research cardiologist at
the State University of New York Health Science Center, it was shown that
subjects who included a small amount of grapeseed oil daily in a low-fat
diet over a four week period, experienced an increase in their HDL or "good"
Cholesterol of 13%, and a decrease in their LDL or the "bad" Cholesterol
of 7%. Grapeseed oil is also an excellent natural source of vitamin E and
essential fatty acids necessary for normal cell metabolism and maintenance
Whether as a salad dressing, for baking, grilling, or frying, GRAPE
SEED OIL retains the original flavor of foods. It imparts no after-taste,
permitting the full flavor of the dish to be appreciated. As a great gourmet
alternative to olive oil, GRAPE SEED OIL serves to enhance the natural
flavor of foods and reveals a subtle pleasant buttery flavor.
It is one of the most stable cooking oils known. The first thing you
notice when cooking with GRAPESEED oil is that it will not smoke, burn
or splatter like other cooking oils. This is due to its high smoke point,
approximately 320° F. One can cook a meal and amazingly start preparing
another dish in the same oil without deterioration or "off flavors". GRAPE
SEED OIL is excellent for frying because of its remarkable heat stability
and the desirable butter taste imparted to fried foods.

Evening
Primrose Oil
"Evening
Primrose Oil contains the essential fatty acid Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA).
GLA is the last stable precursor to a group of hormone-like compounds called
prostagiandins,
that control cell growth, cell regeneration, skin condition, the menstrual
cycle, and blood pressure."
"The purposes of Prostaglandins include lowering blood pressure, reducing
risks of blood clotting, stimulating the immune system, and regulating
brain function. Animal studies at the University of Pennsylvania have also
shown them to prevent arthritis. This is also being studied in humans trials
in Europe with similar results. The source of EFA’s in these studies has
been Evening Primrose Oil."
"Current medical research with Evening
Primrose oil and Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA): Rheumatoid
Arthritis - Eczema - Multiple Sclerosis - Hyperactivity in Children - PMS
(Premenstrual Syndrome) - Cardiovascular Disorders - Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Diabetes "
"Preliminary studies in Sweden are relating Evening Primrose Oil to
an anti-oxidant in that it also counter acts the formation of free radicals.
Free radicals are most often associated with the aging process. Maintaining
health is just one of the benefits of Evening Primrose Oil. It is also
being studied extensively in England and Europe for its pain reduction
in association with arthritis, controlling complications of diabetes, controlling
liver and kidney damage due to alcohol, depression, Multiple sclerosis,
skin/hair/nail repair, and most impressively, controlling sever symptoms
of PMS.
"A study at St. Thomas Hospital in London found that when PMS suffers
were given evening primrose oil three times daily, 67% of the participants
were symptom-free and 22% achieved partial relief. (In all total, 89% had
positive results with the evening primrose oil.) Although not as popular
in the United States, Evening Primrose Oil is available at most health
food stores and nutrition centers. And, as more studies become available,
we will find why Evening Primrose Oil was commonly called the “King’s Cure
All” in 17th Century England." www.hhnews.com

The
Healing Power of Black Cumin Seed Oil
For
centuries, the Black Seed herb and oil has been used by millions
of people in Asia, Middle East, and Africa to promote health and fight
disease. An aromatic spice, similar looking to sesame seed except black
in color, it has been traditionally used for a variety of conditions and
treatments related to respiratory health, stomach and intestinal complaints,
kidney and livery function, circulatory and immune system support, and
to improve general health. Black Seed is also known as Black Cumin, Black
Caraway Seed, Habbatul Baraka (the Blessed Seed), and by its botanical
name "Nigella Sativa". Since 1959, over 200 studies at international universities
and articles published in various journals have shown remarkable results
supporting its traditional uses recorded almost 1400 years ago. The most
pertinent point to be made about black seed is that it should be regarded
as part of an overall holistic approach to health and ideally should be
incorporated into one's everyday lifestyle. In this way, the many nutritional
and healing properties contained in the seed can help build the body's
immune system over time, supplying it with the optimum resources it needs
to help prevent and fight illness.
"In the Middle East and South Asia, the black seed oil has been used
for thousands of years as a remedy for all sorts of allergies, inflamation
and menstruation problems, boosting moral, depression; but especially against
bronchitis, asthma and neuro-dermatitis as well as poor digestion and even
impotency. The Prophet Mohammad (s) stated in his "Hadith" that black seed
oil cures every illness except death. No wander then that a little bottle
of the oil was even found in the tomb of the legedary Pharoah Tutankhamen..!
In the West the effect of the oil has been used for a long time against
wind, dysentry, stomach and lungdisease, jaundice, diuretic problems and
to increase nursing mother's milk. Due to the triumphant advancesin chemistry
the oil has been forgotten until recently. According to Dr. Schleicher
the reason why this oil is so exceptional is that its component parts act
in unison to produce an optimum effect for so many complaints. But one
has to make sure that only the pure and tested oil is being used." Hans
Wagner
Black
Cumin: The Magical Egyptian Herb for Allergies, Asthma, Skin Conditions,
and Immune Disorders The extraordinary healing powers of black cumin
have been known for centuries in the Middle East where the Prophet Mohammed
himself declared: "Black cumin heals every disease except for death." It
enjoyed wide use in ancient Egypt as a digestive aid and as an effective
medicine for colds, headaches, toothaches, and infections. Because of its
complex chemical structure--it has over one hundred active ingredients--black
cumin has positive effects on the respiratory, immune, circulatory,
digestive,
and urinary systems. It is enormously effective against asthma,
stomach
ailments, and numerous skin conditions, ranging from
acne
to psoriasis. It also has been the subject of intensive scientific
research indicating that it strengthens and stabilizes the immune system
and is greatly beneficial in the treatment of allergies. It has
even been found to be beneficial in the treatment of impotence when
the causes are primarily physiological.
This book will serve as an invaluable resource for anyone interested
in the healing properties of this incredible plant. It contains everything
you need to know in order to use black cumin for the prevention and treatment
of illness, including specific recipes for infections and allergies, and
precise directions for their preparation. The authors even provide a section
on the use of black cumin as a beauty aid and as a culinary staple.

Flaxoil v/s gounded Flaxseeds
I mix grounded flaxseeds to my dog's food because it is rich in protein
and fiber and it is less expensive than oil. Many people sprinkle
grounded flaxseeds on their salads or cereals.
3 tablespoons of whole flax seeds (or approx. 1 1/2 oz) = 1 tablespoon
of oil
One ounce of oil = 2 tablespoons of whole seeds
Flaxoil manufacturers recommends one to two tablespoons of flaxoil per
100 pounds of body weight
Mass
Quantities recommends that athletes take one tablespoon of High Lignan
Flax Oil per 75lbs of bodyweight. Some Pro athletes take up to 10 tablespoons
of High Lignan Flax Oil per day and still LOST bodyfat. Flax oil does not
convert to bodyfat, not ever. And this fact alone, makes it the perfect
supplement for a dieter, and the perfect food for a hardgainer needing
a way to increase calories. more

Omega
3 Oils : To Improve Mental Health, Fight Degenerative Diseases, and Extend
Your Life by Donald O. Rudin
Omega 3 oils, obtained primarily from fish and flaxseed, have all kinds
of possibilities, according to research physician Rudin, who has worked
with them for years (coauthor Felix is a nutrition science journalist).
For example, they raise the level of "good" and lower the level of "bad"
cholesterol. They may be of help in preventing sudden infant death syndrome,
for they have been absent in many babies who died of the tragic malady.
Heart disease, diabetes, skin conditions, and premenstrual syndrome apparently
are helped by Omega 3 oils as are several diseases of aging. Even mental
problems such as agoraphobia, mood disorders, and schizophrenia are, Rudin
claims, improved by these oils. Rudin bases most of his argument on a research
study he carried out in the 1980s. Although it included just 44 patients
and had no control group, the study produced results Rudin believes are
valid enough to prove his assertions. William Beatty

Fats: How Dietary Fats and Oils Affect Mental, Physical and Emotional Intelligence
by Michael A. Schmidt
Written by a research scientist in the field of nutrition, this book
describes how the body's digestive, communication, and nervous systems
function, and links fatty acid intake to memory, mood and behavior. Schmidt
explains how most "low-fat" diets are actually unhealthy and how many people
today get little or none of important fatty acids like omega-3 in their
junk-food meals. 10 charts and tables. A look at healthy and unhealthy
fat consumption.This accessible, easy to understand description of dietary
fats aims to clear up the confusion between fats that are bad for you and
fats necessary for good health. Specifically, certain fatty acids are essential
to neurological health, making a significant difference in one's ability
to concentrate retain cognitive information, and fight off disease.

Syndrome
X: The Complete Nutritional Program to Prevent and Reverse Insulin Resistance
If you're aging prematurely, getting fatter, feeling sluggish, and
watching your blood pressure and cholesterol sneak upwards, you may have
"Syndrome X," claim the authors, who say that up to 60 million North Americans
have it. "Syndrome X is primarily a nutritional disease caused by eating
the wrong foods," they write. The mysterious-sounding "Syndrome X" refers
to a group of health problems including insulin resistance ("the inability
to properly deal with dietary carbohydrates such as sugars"), plus at least
one additional problem, such as abnormal blood fats (elevated cholesterol
or triglycerides), overweight, and/or high blood pressure. Insulin resistance
is "a diet-caused hormonal logjam that interferes with your body's ability
to efficiently burn the food you eat." According to the authors, you probably
have this problem, and if you do, eating processed carbohydrates are the
root of it. Pastries, pastas, breakfast cereals, soft drinks--these refined
carbos are the enemy.
Insulin Resistant
Hyperinsulinemia (syndrome X)
Hyperinsulinemia is an endocrine disorder characterized by a failure
of our Blood Sugar Control System (BSCS) to work properly. Today an epidemic
of incredible proportions rages through the country. It directly affects
almost half the population and incapacitates almost twenty percent of us.
About ten percent of us are completely dependent upon synthetic medication
and live under constant medical supervision because of this drug dependence.
There are few of us in America who are not affected directly or indirectly
by this disease. It has been known since the 1950's as Insulin Resistant
Diabetes, Hyperinsulinemia, or Insulin Resistant Hyperinsulinemia. It is
known to the medical community by the symptoms that it produces. Some of
these symptoms are: Atherosclerosis,
Vascular
disease,
Diabetes type 2, Impotence, Kidney
Failure, Heart Failure, Liver
Damage, Stroke, Obesity, Neuropathy, Retinopathy
and Gangrene to name
but a few. We have separately discussed, each on its own page, the connection
of each of these symptoms to the underlying endocrine disorder, Insulin

CANOLA OIL: Deadly for the
Human Body! Beware of Canola Oil, Canola Oil is an Industrial
Oil, Not Fit For Human Consumption
Canola oil from the rape seed, referred to as the Canadian oil because
Canada is mainly responsible for it being marketed in the USA The Canadian
government and industry paid our Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
$50 million dollars to have canola oil placed on the (GRAS) List "Generally
Recognized As Safe". Thus a new industry was created. Laws were enacted
affecting international trade, commerce, and traditional diets. Studies
with lab. animals were disastrous. Rats developed fatty degeneration of
heart, kidney, adrenals, and thyroid gland. When canola oil was withdrawn
from their diets, the deposits dissolved but scar tissue remained on all
vital organs. No studies on humans were made before money was spent to
promote Canola oil in the USA.

of Soy Products
Contrary to popular belief that soy is a health food, evidence reveals
that soy consumption has been linked to numerous disorders, including infertility,
increased cancer and infantile leukemia, Type1 diabetes, and precocious
puberty in children have been fed soy formula. (early maturation, such
as breast development and menstruation as early as 6 years of age). Scientists
have known for years that the isoflavones in soy products can depress thyroid
function and cause goiters in otherwise healthy children and adults. A
combined research team of Cornell University Medical College and Long Island
Community Hospital medical experts have found that children who develop
Type1 diabetes are twice as likely to have been fed soy formulas as those
fed all other foods This confirms concerns based on animal studies
raised in the 1980's and 1990s by Health Canada researcher Dr Fraser Scott
and led to the American Academy of Pediatrics issuing their warning to
pediatricians against any use of soy based formulas.
