Your Health: Big FAT Lies..(Are you in need of an OIL Change?)

During my recent trip to the health food store, Margot, the owner gave me a book to read entitled, "Eat FAT Look THIN" by Bruce Fife, ND. It's a 280 page book that I read in less than 48 hours. I couldn't put it down. She wanted me to learn about Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome (a treatable thyroid problem) that traditional blood tests DO NOT detect and what are the recommended remedies.

I have been hypothyroid for 15 years and I thought I was eating the right foods. Well. . . I was blown away by what foods slow down Thyroid function. The most toxic consumable oil on earth is Soybean Oil, and Soy/Tofu is the worst food to eat guaranteed to slow down your Thyroid/metabolism. (I had soy milk every day for over 2 years)

Here is what Dr. Fife said about fat to understand the bigger picture:
"Without fats, your cells would become shapeless puddles of water mixed with miscellaneous cellular debris. The cells in your heart, lungs, kidneys, and every other organ are dependent on fat to hold them together. Your brain is composed of 60% fat and cholesterol. To put it bluntly, a healthy intelligent brain is full of fat. Dietary fats are used to make hormones, prostaglandins that control and regulate bodily functions. Vitamin D, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and many other hormones are constructed out of cholesterol. Even cholesterol is made from fat. Fat & cholesterol are used as building blocks for many hormones.

A diet lacking fat can seriously reduce the efficiency of your immune system and thus make you more susceptible to disease."

But not all fats are created equal. . .buyer beware!

Do you know how the vegetable oil(s) industry was born & what it was used for initially?
[History] -- An Industrial Oil Becomes a Food: Polyunsaturated vegetable oils oxidize (go rancid) very quickly, they cannot be stored more than a few days. Crude extraction methods leave a high % of impurities in the oil that produces an awful smell and flavor when the oil begins to spoil. When oil oxidizes it hardens so this proved advantageous for industrial use.

The first paints and varnishes were made out of vegetable oils. A number of industrial products were reated from these oils-paint thinner, lacquer, linoleum, ink etc. With the invention of the modern hydraulic press and the development of chemical extraction methods vegetable oil production increased during the 1st half of the 20th century. Before WW2, soybean and other polyunsaturated oils were used almost exclusively for industrial purposes. When chemist learned how to make cheaper oil-based paint from petroleum, the seed oil industry found itself facign a dwindling market.

At that time, farmers were experimenting with different ways to make their animals fatter on less expensive feed. The seed industry began marketing their products as an additive to animal feed. Farmers discovered that corn and soybean oil not only added more calories but also had an antithyroid effect that caused the animal to be fattened at a much lower cost. The only problem was that animals also developed tumors and other degenerative health problems. Since diseased cattle have severe economic consequences, the cattle industry stopped using vegetable oils.

Now if you can believe this, the vegetable oil producers , knowing what they know already began a new marketing strategy: to focus more heavily on selling their products for human consumption. The vegetable oil industry spearheaded an aggressive campaign to discredit saturated fats (animal fats, palm, coconut, olive etc) and promoted their polyunsaturated vegetable oils. They flooded the media with news promoting the use of vegetable oils. By the mid 1950's vegetable oils finally exceeded sales and butter sales declined.

A problem we now face is that vegetable oils are doing the same thing to humans as they did the farm animals - being fat and sick! For thousands of years people were eating saturated fats without having any harmful effects, but as soon as we replaced them with polyunsaturated vegetable oils, waistlines began expanding, cancer, diabetes and other degenerative conditions have shot through the roof. Look at the ingredient labels in the foods you buy. Consider the amount of cooking oil, shortening, and margarine you use. Vegetable oils are in almost all our foods nowadays.

I'm sharing this with you, because I'm sure this will be new to you. I'm outraged that all vegetable oils at restaurants and fastfood places are hydrogenated vegetables which means transfat. That's what our young children are eating sadly.

I am educating anyone I come in contact about this and I'm hoping we can have a movement that can change this industry back to health. I personally have taken steps to eating healthy oils. . . without your health what do you have to enjoy?
