 TRY IT FOR A YEAR CAMPAIGNAre you still using Hydrogenated oils or shortenings? Do you know is bad for the environment and bad for your client's health? Hydrogenated oil and shortenings is created by forcing hydrogen gas into the holes of unsaturated fatty acids. This process requires the presence of a metal catalyst. One of the side effects of this process is the residue of toxic metals (usually nickel and aluminum) that is left behind in the finished product. These metals accumulate in our cells where they alter cellular functions causing a wide variety of health problems. But, even as bad as that sounds, trans fatty acids, or trans fat, that the hydrogenation process creates, have their own host of health dangers above and beyond the issue of toxic metal residue. Why are trans fats so harmful? They act as poisons to crucial cellular reactions and they wind up in cell membranes and other places they shouldn’t be. Recent measurements show trans fats as high as 20% in the membranes of human red blood cells, when this figure should be zero. The protective structure and function of cell membranes is weakened when trans fatty acids are present, Because of this, trans fat is considered to be a major contributor of cardiovascular diseases. Scientific reports have confirmed the relationship between trans fat and an increased risk of coronary heart disease. An American Heart Association study released last July showed that foods cooked with trans fat might clog arteries quicker than food cooked in animal-based saturated fat. So.. Please DON'T kill us.
