How Trans Fats Became Our Enemy

[SUPERHUMANsare]

Im a university Biology major, very informative. Good job!

[partblah1992]

when I stopped eating trans fat I loss 15 kilograms !

[wafalek]

olive oil is good for you

seasame oil any natural oil is good for you

the food chain wanna make tasty and make it kill us too

[wafalek]

yes they should because the are killing people

[live0day]

i said processed cheap sh*t = poison

poison = processed foods

what did you think i was saying? :p

[live0day]

idiotic fake science

nothing is bad only processed cheap sh*t

[ThomasBlake666]

@live0day The only thing idiotic is your comment. Fake science? your joking right? Trans-fat IS in cheap processed shit. But you know what? 90% of the food on the shelves at your grocery store is processed in one way or another. So your saying that what this guy is saying is wrong? or that trans-fats really are good for you?

Removing trans fats is a great thing considering the United States healthcare system. Of course, I think the US is far behind other nations which have better healthcare systems. It's just sinful how so-called health insurance companies get rich and deny coverage for many sick, suffering and dying people. Until the US makes a change to a better healthcare system, lets eat healthy to stay healthy and also to put an end for so-called health insurance companies from getting richer.

Thank you, now I can do my bio essay..

[satanicbassguy]

mmmm trans fats, tasty.

[buraburayoshi]

let's just ban the transfat seriously.

[w2aiq]

thats BS, the reason trans fats were developed was because manufacturers were having a hard time keeping oils from going bad before getting to market, so they made the trans fat version that is bad for you but more stable....manufacturers dont want you to know about this, profit is king.

very educational

This docto, although meaning well, is uninformed. He doesn't realize the corruption and money that our national regulatory agencies are involved in. He doesn't realize that cholesterol is not your enemy, that saturated fats are acually good for you, and that there is no solid unbiased proof that saturated fats or high cholesterol cause heart disease. Drug and food companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars lobbying and paying fees to the FDA and AHA and directly to doctors.

[cyxgun]

@ClassicExampleBand Surely you're not saying artificially hydrogenated fats are GOOD for you? It's already well known by doctors that there are two kinds of cholesterol, and the balance between them is more important than the total amount of either. Trans fats have the effect of disrupting this balance because they cannot be processed by the body in the way they naturally would without the hydrogen that had been artificially added.

[troyryb]

@ClassicExampleBand you are a very smart person ..... watch underground wellnes on here too , has great videos, i hate these ill informed videos adding to the hype of the whole anti saturated fat campaign, trans fats mimic cholesterol and is actually what gets stored on the inside of arteries because your body doesnt know what it is and cant break it down (well not easily,) but saturated fat does everything in your body and is the major anti oxidant protecting you from cancer and disease

[ClassicExampleBand]

The American Heart Association. The same AHA that publishes guidelines by directors that receive speaking fees and consulting fees by food and drug companines so they will rubber stamp their products. Don't believe me? Google Corrupt AHA or Corrupt FDA and find out the truth about drugs, foods, saturated fats, or read Overdosed America by Dr. John Abramson. You will be shocked!

[FE511bhs]

I recently stopped eating ANYTHING with trans-fats in it. And guess what I've found. The food without all the hydrogenated bullshit tastes every bit a good as the food with it. So with that I'd like to "kindly" tell all the restaurants and food companies out there to GET THESE GOOD-FOR-NOTHING TOXINS OUT OF OUR FUCKING FOOD!!!!

[mythkw]

Trans fat is not for taste its to increase shelf life

[cailforniawoodpusher]

there banning trans fat in cailfornia by 2010, I heard

[easterrhyming]

Does anyone know WHY they allow less tan 0.5g of trans fat to be disguised as "0g trans fats" (not saying that all things "0g trans fats" have trans fats in them)? If someone knows can they please tell me? Because that's just so stupid how they allow companies to LIE about how much trans fat they have.

[jamesmmafisher]

BAN IT!

[bamatommy]

Superb video. Bravo!

[astrangleus]

The process of hydrogenation not only produces transfats, but adds additional hydrogen atoms, making the fat more saturated. Simply heating the oil above 400 degrees F will also create transfats, but will not make the fat any more saturated. 37% of the omega-3 in Canola oil is converted into transfat because it's heated during processing.

[astrangleus]

I can't believe how many products still have >1g of transfat in them! Cake ICING, Cookie Dough, Biscuits, Donuts. A deadly combination... studies have demonstrated that transfats cause insulin-resistance in rats. Combining that with sugar and refined starches is a recipe for diabetes.

[dangerine]

This is a great video that explains all the basics on the toxic Trans-fat!

Ask your city (and state) officials to ban artificial trans fat from all restaurants/school cafeterias!

[dangerine]

Best advice is to check food labels and AVOID ALL foods containing ANY "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" oils.

Even if the Trans Fat in EACH serving says "0" on the label, it could mean .4grams in each serving. Cookies often have this trick. if the serving size is 2 small cookies and that day you had 8 throughout the day you just ate(from just 1 food) more than the Maximum amount recommended 0-2grams for the ENTIRE DAY!

Trans fats are created through the process of adding HYDROGEN GAS to a liquid oil UNDER EXTREME HEAT AND PRESSURE, which not only turns the oil RANCID, but also produces a substance NOT FOUND IN NATURE. The process CONVERTS the NATURAL 'CIS' form of fatty acids to an ALTERED 'TRANS' form. Trans fats were created to EXTEND SHELF LIFE and a cheap alternative to the more expensive process of making real butter.
