The Dangers of Trans Fats, (partially) hydrogenated oils, trans fatty acids

This video is very informative , thanks so much for uploading it

The big problem here is that at one point they compare trans fats to saturated fats and say both are bad. That's complete nonsense. Saturated fats are healthy fats. Trans fats are bad fats. There is no way you can even equate the two.

What they mean to say is that animal-based saturated oils/fats are harmful to our health.

Vegetable-based saturated fats (such as coconut oil) are actually very healthy.

Animal-based oils and fats are not really good for us as they clog our arteries.

Unsaturated (vegetable-based!) oils such as olive oil are much healthier.

However, don't heat these unsaturated oils to high temperatures as they easily break down into carcinogenic compounds when heated.

There's no doubt that coconut oils a good fat. But I disagree that animal fats are unhealthy. Many groups of humans freely at raw fats from animals without heart disease for instance. Most of the fat that ends up clogging arteries is not saturated fat but polyunsatures.

tell me if you know, i used to be able to eat meat when i was young, now it seem when i eat meat i get sick. even eggs. cheese i am fine with and fish also. i can eat anything else and feel fine. i eat lots of plant based foods.

I agree.

I agree with everything you said, but hydrolyzed soy protein and partially hydrogenated oil are two different things.

You sure? My mom is an expert when it comes to food and food safety and she told me ANYTHING Hydrogenated or Hydrolyzed is basically the main ingredient to trans fat, giving it all the negative aspects...but then again she could be wrong, or I took Hydrogenated anything too seriously...

Im sure. it's still pretty bad for you though. =/ taken from wikipedia:

"Hydrolyzed vegetable protein, or HVP, is produced by boiling cereals or legumes, such as soy, corn, or wheat, in hydrochloric acid and then neutralizing the solution with sodium hydroxide. The acid hydrolyzes, or breaks down, the protein in vegetables into their component amino acids."

Am I having amnesia! I think I'm forgetting in Kindergarten when they told me that 0 actually meant any number from 0 to 0.49!!! Okay, that's what the FDA and 100s of food companies learned, any they're smart...right?
