Extracting oils from plants using heat creates lower quality fats with negative health reactions. It’s not just the real, raw food that contains naturally good fats, but also how that food is “minimally” processed that affects the quality of the fats. You have to be a conscientious consumer through and through. (Cholesterol is another substance largely misunderstood by Americans at large, and another nutritional component that you will die without.) Hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils, shortenings and margarines are all trans fats. Trans fats block normal biochemistry, disrupt electrical circuitry, and inhibit enzyme function for the body’s normal synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol. Every time you choose to eat trans fats, you are choosing ill health. There is no medical doubt that what they do is inflict harm upon the body. Trans fats are a form of health indebtedness, and a good way to wound your self if not outright commit suicide. We are then left with guaranteed disease.
Trans fats weaken our cell walls, which are made of fat, and allow all kinds of things in that don’t belong in healthy cells. They are useless calories that actually detract from nutrition, health and well-being. They interfere with our bodies’ ability to use the good fats, getting in the way without providing the services our bodies need from the good fats. Trans fats are man made through heavy processing and do not exist without our manufacture. Trans fats are bad for you in any quantity, whereas you must over-consume saturated fats before they are a problem. As if it’s better to have disease causing foods that you can consume with just as many non-health benefits tomorrow as today than to have healthy food that perishes!
We like to uphold fake foods as our brilliant human achievement over nature, but we are also very proud of extending shelf life by destroying the nutrition in food. Unfortunately, we Americans have devised ways to destroy perfectly good fats and still market them as healthy. Every cell in your body is literally dependent on and composed of fat. Everything else in your diet could be great, but without the proper fats, it’s meaningless to your body and your brain. But don’t worry- you will go crazy with mental illness before you die because your brain is comprised of about 60% fat. Without fat you will still starve to death from malnutrition. Because fats are a critical part of digestion and peristalsis (along with every other function in your body,) your system shuts down because it doesn’t have the proper fuel to run on. It’s known as the “rabbit starvation” diet. Want to know what the outcome is? As demonstrated by early Arctic explorers, you die. Let’s say you followed the “advice” out there about only consuming lean meats and avoiding fats in general. Fat-free diets are an absolute, sure route to failure of health.
Do you know what happens when the body is deprived of fat? Dysfunction, disease, and ultimately death will be your rewards for avoiding fat. It doesn’t matter how much they fortify the food because that “nutrition” isn’t readily absorbable. The hook is that most of those “low-fat” foods have been stripped of healthy fats, processed into less nutritious but prettily packaged fake food with a fancy label, and they actually make you want to eat more because you have just malnourished yourself with hollow (nutritionless) calories. Fat is touted as one of the biggest evils in food, especially saturated fat from animals. That’s “common knowledge” in our society, marketed to you as truth all day long, and it’s also completely wrong.Īdvertising says if you want to lose weight, eat low fat food, or avoid fat altogether.
Americans think that they are following current medical standards for healthy eating to avoid diseases like diabetes, obesity, and heart disease, by eating margarine instead of butter. It is hardly any wonder why we have so much obesity and other fat related diseases, let alone a national health crisis. The bulk of the information readily available to the masses is misleading and incorrect. The misinformation about fat is abundant. but it seems the most fitting to me for this, & it is SOOOO easy to make! after this, i don't know if i could ever make applesauce the traditional way again.Fat is a topic that most Americans misunderstand completely, and for good reason. but today they just do :)įrightening because i thought a jar was going to explode in my face the whole 2 hour process & successful because it was yummy & all of my jars actually sealed (!!!) My first & second canning experieces were frightening & successful.
