#ingreedients

Ok, just watched the documentary "Ingreedients" and although I'm not american and some of the stuff don't apply to my lifestyle, there are still a few things EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW. These are the thins I found most important in the documentary:

Partially hydrogenated vegetable oil is a trans fat made by man; it's super dangerous; and it's most of our food (even the "healthy ones").

What's trans fat? In this kind of fat the hydrogen molecules are not all in the same side of the carbon molecules. Who cares? Well, our body do because it can't process it.

How are trans fat made? Vegetable (sesame, soy, etc) -> factory -> extracted oil -> bleach and deodorant -> extremely heated (by adding heavy metals) -> hydrogen gas. Yummy uh?

Some fats are good and necessary. "The idea that fat is bad, is a bad idea".

Best fats for you: olive oil, coconut oil, organic butter, flax oil, hemp oil (only cold)

Trans fat increases chances of heart disease- the number one killer in the world.

How about cholesterol -> there is HDL cholesterol (good) and LDL cholesterol (bad).

Trans fat causes inflammation and so, the increase of LDL cholesterol that clogs your arteries and decrease of HDL cholesterol (responsible for cleaning your arteries)

So what about the 0 trans fat products? Well, in America it is legal to have up to 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving and say it has ZERO. 0.4 = 0???

Also these so called "vitamins": biotin, thiamine, B12, folic acid, B6, panthothenic acid are NOT  real vitamins, they are made from chemicals!

Oh and don't forget mono and diglycerides- emulsifiers that replace expensive ingredients like eggs, cream and milk and prevent food from staling.

The issue is if we are ready to have health as a priority. Everybody knows this is bad for you, so it's not about telling people not to eat it. It's about people making a decision!
