 Foods such as margarine, cakes, cookies, candies, and doughnuts often contain partially or totally hydrogenated oils. This is also true of many oils sold in supermarkets; in order to prolong their shelf life, hydrogenated fats are used in many so-called cooking oils.
Another important fat classification, and one that's come under a good bit of scrutiny lately for being especially unhealthy, is trans fats. Trans fats are made during the process of hydrogenating oils by chemically modifying a natural oil in a process that converts some of the cis unsaturated fatty acids to the trans form. |

 Most people's blood cells clump together because they live on a disease-inducing diet of fried foods, homogenized dairy fats, saturated animal fats, hydrogenated oils and other deadly foods. These massive clumps of blood cells slow bloodflow and can ultimately get lodged in the capillaries of the circulatory system, blocking off nutrients and oxygen to tissues and brain cells. Aloe vera, on the other hand, causes sticky blood to become "unsticky blood," making it flow like it should -- one blood cell at a time -- so that oxygen and nutrients can reach every last organ and cell in your body. |

 If your product contains yeast extract, hydrogenated oils, high-fructose corn syrup, mercury, artificial colors or aspartame, don't even bother submitting it. I also don't promote products made mostly with fillers (for example, a bottle of mangosteen juice made mostly out of apple juice would not earn my recommendation).
To get exposure on NewsTarget, you have to offer a truly high-quality, innovative product (or book, website, etc.) that delivers strong benefits to customers.

 Doughnuts: Doughnuts contain hydrogenated oils, white flour, sugar, and acrylamides. Essentially, they're one of the worst cancer foods you can possibly eat. Reader's Digest calls doughnuts "disastrous" as a breakfast food, and many experts agree it's probably one of the worst ways to start the day.
French fries: Fries are made with hydrogenated oil and fried at high temperatures. Some chains even add sugar to their fry recipe to make them even more irresistible. Not only do they clog your arteries with saturated fat and trans fat, they also contain acrylamides. |

• Drink plenty of water, but filter it or use natural spring water. Unfiltered tap water is often contaminated with chemicals and bacteria.
• Eat meat sparingly. To start cutting back, eat smaller portions of beef, poultry, and pork.
• Limit alcohol to small amounts, and don't drink often.
• Don't drink diet soda and soft drinks. |

 Trans fat, animal fat, and hydrogenated oils gum up the works, but the omega-3s found in fish are enormously beneficial. Population studies have shown that countries in which people eat a lot of fish have lower incidence of bipolar disorder. And some people use omega-3s as a stand-alone treatment for mood disorders and ADHD. One study showed that people who eat fish once a week slow the yearly rate of cognitive decline by 10 percent. |

 Avoid junk food during the healing process, especially processed fats such as hydrogenated oils and homogenized milk fats. They interfere with healthy cell wall construction.
Colloidal silver can be used topically to prevent infections. It works better than antibiotics and offers no opportunity for bacteria to build up resistance. Some people take colloidal silver internally as a replacement for antibiotics (that topic is a whole article).

 There is virtually no food product in this entire aisle that does not contain hydrogenated oils. You have to go way down the aisle to the unpopular section -- often it's located near the kosher foods -- to find crackers such as Wasa Crackers, which are made without hydrogenated oils and are baked, not fried (at least in the U.S.). But practically everything else on that aisle contains hydrogenated oils. That means every snack chip, every cookie, every cracker, every pastry, and every baked good, whether it's sweet or not, is made with this dietary poison. |

 Where is the effort to protect the public from all the dangerous cancer-causing food additives like sodium nitrite? hydrogenated oils? Chemical preservatives and sweeteners? With the American population more diseased than ever before in the history of human civilization, and drug companies inundating the people with deadly chemicals, I find it astounding that health authorities would see one teenager with TB as such a huge threat that they have to arrest him at gunpoint. Doesn't this seem a bit strange to you? |

 Unless they say, "no hydrogenated oils" right on the label, they contain it. Vegetable shortening, by the way, is pure hydrogenated oil. It is probably one of the single most toxic grocery products you can put in your body. And yet people are out there buying vegetable shortening by the bucket loads and baking cookies with it -- something I find absolutely appalling.
By far, the most powerful thing you can do to restore healthy cholesterol levels is to stop eating hydrogenated oils. The next thing that you can do is stop eating trans fat (trans fatty acids) -- that means avoid all fried foods. |

 Or that the portion sizes have swelled or that the snacks themselves consist mainly of cleverly flavored and configured arrangements of refined carbohydrates, hydrogenated oils, corn sweeteners, and salt.
To counter the rise of the snack and restore the meal to its rightful place, consider as a start these few rules of thumb:

ODON'T GET YOUR FUEL FROM THE SAME PLACE YOUR CAR DOES. |
| With that, the regulatory door was thrown open to all manner of faked low-fat products: Fats in things like sour cream and yogurt could now be replaced with hydrogenated oils or guar gum or carrageenan, bacon bits could be replaced with soy protein, the cream in "whipped cream" and "coffee creamer" could be replaced with corn starch, and the yolks of liquefied eggs could be replaced with, well, whatever the food scientists could dream up, because the sky was now the limit. |

 And how do you make hydrogenated oils? Well, you don't find them anywhere in nature -- you have to have a chemical processing facility to make hydrogenated oils. And you do it by bubbling hydrogen gas through liquid soybean oil or other types of oils, using a catalyst (in most cases the catalyst is nickel). So with this nickel and the bubbling of hydrogen gas, you get extra hydrogen atoms attached to the molecules in oil, which makes them solid at room temperature. Since they are solid at room temperature, they can be more easily used to make margarine products, or used in crackers and cookies. |

 The point to all of this is that the same guy could have gone to his doctor and said, "Doc, my cholesterol is too high," and then the doctor could have said, "Well, all you need to do is eat some blueberries and stop consuming hydrogenated oils and trans fats in your foods. That's all you need to do. Your cholesterol is going to come down naturally." And the guy would say, "Oh, okay I can do that. I can eat blueberries. I can avoid foods made with hydrogenated oils. I can do that. |

 The list of such ingredients that should be banned from the food supply -- but won't be -- include MSG, processed sodium, refined white sugar, refined white flour, aspartame, saccharin, hydrogenated oils, artificial colors, chemical preservatives, color fixer chemicals and homogenized dairy fats (which cause heart disease). By screaming "China!" to the U.S. press and pointing the finger at dangerous Chinese-made products, the Food and Drug Administration diverts scrutiny from its own lousy lack of meaningful food safety enforcement with U.S. manufacturers.

 Countless millions of children have died over the years from cancers stemming from chemical food additives like sodium nitrite, hydrogenated oils and petrochemical food coloring, yet you don't see anybody jumping up and down to save those kids. But when five people croak from eating raw almonds, they treat it like it's a national emergency. Maybe terrorists are now using salmonella as a biological weapon...
But let's get real here: Eating food comes with some risk. |

 Foods that decrease immunity, such as hydrogenated oils and trans-fatty acids, should also be avoided. Drink one green freshly squeezed drink a day to raise immunity and flush toxins from the body.
Supplements: Take 50 mg of zinc picolinate a day for its ability to enhance the immune system and nourish the skin. Take 4 g of fish oil a day for its ability to reduce skin inflammation. Taking 1,000 meg of vitamin C a day will help to raise the immune system. (If stools soften cut back 1,000 mg a day. |

| It took years just to get consensus on the fact that trans fatty acids are dangerous to health, and even then, the FDA still refuses to ban them from the food supply, kow-towing to the interests of giant food corporations who insist they need hydrogenated oils to ensure longer shelf life for their food products (which guantees more profits).
There is currently no effort underway to ban known cancer-causing chemicals from the food supply, even when the science is very clear about the damage such chemicals are causing to the U.S. public. |

| Sodium nitrite, for example, remains perfectly legal to add to processed meat products, even though it substantially increases the risk of pancreatic cancer, colon cancer and even breast cancer. hydrogenated oils, aspartame, petroleum-derived food coloring chemicals and cancer-causing preservative chemicals all remain legal as well.
Clearly, the goal of so-called "food safety" initiatives have nothing to do with actually protecting consumers, but a whole lot to do with meeting the interests of agricultural companies and junk food manufacturers. |

 In reality, the product may be loaded with trans fats (found in hydrogenated oils), but the serving size has been reduced to a weight that might only be appropriate for feeding a ground squirrel, not a human being.
The next time you pick up a grocery product, checking out the "No. of servings" line in the Nutrition Facts box. You'll likely find some ridiculously high number there that has nothing to do with reality. A cookie manufacturer, for example, might claim that one cookie is an entire "serving" of cookies. But do you know anyone who actually eats just one cookie? |

 That may sound great if you're eating a diet of fried foods, hydrogenated oils and processed meat products, but even if you block the absorption of those obesity-promoting fats, you're still left in a state of deficiency concerning the healthy oils like omega-3 fatty acids. And if you eat more flaxseed or take fish oil capsules, guess what? Alli will interfere with those, too, causing you to miss out on at least some of their benefits.
What an incredibly genius idea for a drug! Transform adults into diaper-wearing little children, then leave them in a state of nutritional deficiency. |

 But once that issue went mainstream, fast food restaurants all over the country announced changes to avoid hydrogenated oils.
I believe that sodium nitrite in processed meats is the next big food safety issue that's about to break into mainstream awareness. More and more consumers are suddenly aware that hot dogs promote cancer, or that bacon consumption is incredibly bad for your health. As awareness of this issue builds, there's going to be increasing political pressure to pass laws that protect the public by strictly limited or banning the use of sodium nitrite in processed meats. |

 Trans fatty acids and hydrogenated oils are harmful oils.
Essential fatty acids are utilized by the body to build cell structure, to help generate electrical energy, and produce hormones. They are required for nerve impulses, brain development and function, healthy skin, digestion, inner organ function, the cardiovascular system, and immune system. They are critically important for health. Most people are oil deficient because good oils are lacking in their diets.
All the essential fatty acids are obtained from a diet of real food. |
