In this part, we'll look at myths surrounding bad cholesterol, eggs, dairy products and sun-blocks.
Bad cholesterol is the cause of heart disease. The TRUTH: Like fats, cholesterol may be damaged by exposure to heat, oxygen and free radicals. Both good and bad cholesterol are not immune to such exposure. Free radicals are what's in the air and around food, that causes this oxidization; free radicals cause your freshly-cut apples to go brown (an obvious sign of oxidization). The free radicals make dairy products more "sticky" and tend to stick to the walls of arteries. This sticky stuff is known as 'plaque'. You can see the plaque stuck in diseased hearts from post mortem-ed bodies of heart attack victims (my uncle was one, he was just 41 when he passed away and he ate a lot of meat in his heydays).
The plaque found in diseased arteries and hearts can range from yellow to white - exactly the same colours of those found in cheese and milk (read more below!) The oxidization of cholesterol (fats) is what contributes to the pathological buildup of plaque in the arteries. It's not whether good or bad cholesterol; it's whether the fat is oxidized. |

In this part I will be chatting about whether hydrogenated oil is healthy. #1. Partially hydrogenated oils - most often soybean and vegetable oil - contains high levels of trans fats. And what's trans fats? Trans fats interfere with the metabolic processes of life by taking the place of a natural substance that performs a critical function (definition of a poison). As such trans fat are poisons, just like arsenic or cyanide. Your body has no defense against such poisons, 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. Unsaturated fat, usually a vegetable oil, is mixed with hydrogen gas and platinum catalysts, then heated to temperatures in excess of 500 F to make it more solid and to give it a longer shelf life. This recipe results in changing the molecular makeup of healthy fatty acids into disfigured, twisted molecules—trans fat—often listed on food labels as hydrogenated fats or oils. The trans fat is an otherwise normal fatty acid that has been "transmodified", by high-heat processing of a free oil |
