The Dangers of “Hydrogenated” Oils

September 7, 2001

 

 

There has been a lot of press lately about the health benefits of Olive

Oil. It seems to protect against heart disease and is associated with

low cancer incidence and overall good health! Olive Oil is high in

mono-unsaturated and unsaturated fatty acids that protect our body’s

cells from MUTATION, that is if it is virgin or extra virgin olive oil.

Virgin olive oils are the only mass marketed oils that have not been

heated above 150 degrees C. (302 degrees F). When oils are heated higher

 

than this they not only lose their protective effects but they become

damaging to the body!

 

Refined oils are heated at much higher temperature that creates

compromised oils. Furthermore, in processing oils, they use poisonous

solvents (Hexane- a cousin to gasoline) to extract the oil left behind

after pressing. They degum the oils with Phosphoric Acid (an extremely

Caustic Chemical) which removes several health promoting substances such

 

as lecithin, chlorophyll and other trace minerals. The oils are then

bleached and deodorized with other solventizing chemicals and heated up

to 270 degrees C (518 degrees F) for 30 to 60 minutes. Fully refined

olive oil loses over 100 volatile compounds that gives olive oil its

unique flavors and aromas. It is the lowest grade olive oil that is

refined.

 

Beware of the term “pure” olive oil on the label. Olive oil labeled

as “pure” (instead of virgin) is a fully refined “solvent extracted”

low-grade oil. The final product of all this is a mutated oil stripped

of all it’s healthy components with the loss of the nutritional

integrity of the EFA’s. The bottom line on buying healthy oils is to

get, organically grown, cold or mechanically pressed oils that are

protected from light, air, and heat!

 

Another health benefit of olive oil is better blood sugar control.

Four independent medical research centers studied 42 non-insulin

dependent diabetics. Half of the group ate a diet with the traditional

55% of the calories from the carbohydrates and 30% from fat. The other

half ate only 40% of calories from carbohydrates and a whopping 45% from

 

fat, with highly mono-unsaturated olive oil as the predominant fat. The

low-carb, high mono diet resulted in better diabetic control-lower day

long blood levels of glucose, insulin and triglycerides! These benefits

persisted throughout the 14 week study. Cholesterol and blood lipid

levels were not increased!

 

In his book, “Sunlight”, Zane Kime, M.D. espouses the benefits of

sunlight in preventing cancer and promoting health. He claims skin

cancer is promoted by a poor diet, particularly refined fats, oils and

animal products. Recent research has tied skin cancer to a diet too high

 

in refined omega-6 fatty acids and substantially deficient in omega-3

fatty acids.

 

Another medical doctor, Dr. Edward N. Siguel, M.D, Ph.D., has

written a book, “Essential Fatty Acids in Health and Disease.” Dr.

Siguel writes that cardiovascular disease and cancer can be prevented in

 

many cases by controlling the intake and balance of EFA’s in our diet.

Siguel basically states that progressive EFA deficiency is the main

contributing factor of heart failure in 25 to 30 years of poorly

balanced diets.

 

Hundreds of independent research studies have shown the disease

producing effects of animal fats, trans-fats and too much refined omega

6 fatty acids. Research has also demonstrated the disease fighting

effects of the unrefined omega-3 fatty acids. So now you have the basic

knowledge to improve your health. It is up to you to choose health one

tablespoon at a time!!
