Breast Cancer-Cell Mutation from Hydrogenated Oils

 

 

 

Tuesday, Oct. 20th, 1998, Oprah Winfrey's show with Dr. Bob Arnot

 

commented on the link between hydrogenated

oils and breast cancer.

 

Studies report there is a 40% increase in breast cancers

among women ingesting hydrogenated oils.

 

 

Hydrogenated oils and trans fatty acids are problematic.

 

Over 100 research studies show how harmful these oils are.

 

The Commercial Edible Food Industry

has suppressed these findings for sometime.

 

 

Hydrogenated oils are molecularly changed oils that are *toxic* to the human

body.

 

Soon after food manufacturers started using hydrogenated

oils in their products, substantial increases in several diseases occurred

within

years.

 

 

Mother nature dictates very simply the nutrients the human

body needs for proper functioning. .

 

 

Essential fatty acids are very important nutrients the body needs

for many obvious reasons.

 

Dr. Joanna Budwig, a West German biochemist was one of the first

to shed light on the important role of essential fatty acids. She is

recognized as one of the world's leading authority on fats and oils.

 

 

Essential fatty acids are the building blocks of fats. They play

important roles in the human body and affect every

major organ, cell membrane growth and immune system function.

 

Natural occurring essential fatty acids

changes the fluidity of cell membranes.

 

This is important in the way healthy immune cells develop.

 

 

 

There are three important essential fatty acids needed by the human

body. They are linoleic (omega-6 type), linoleic

acid N (omega-4 type) and alpha-linolenic N (omega-3 type).

 

The human body cannot produce EFA'S. It is dependent on acquiring them

from plant or fish oils in the proper ratios.

 

It is from these essential fatty acids that the body

synthesizes long chain-fatty acids such as dihomogammalinolenic acid,

(DGLA), apentaenoic acid, (EPA), arachidonic acid, (AA) and

docosahexaenoic acid, (DHA).

 

These acids play a dual role. They form

cell membranes which affect the function of the cells.

 

 

The research data shows that hydrogenated oils form trans fatty acids

which the body simply does not recognize.

 

As a result the body does not synthesize them properly.

 

If the body does not acquire natural occurring essential fatty acids,

(non-hydrogenated oils), the body does not form healthy normal cells.

 

Instead, abnormal cells are produced.

 

In

North America, the diet is and has been sorely lacking for over 40

years in Omega-3's essential fatty acids.

 

 

The western diet has been reduced to 1 part Omega-3's, (LNA,EPA,DHA

essential fatty acids), to more than 12 parts of Omega-6's, (LA,AA).

 

All of the fatty acids are required in the proper ratio of Omega-3's to

Omega-6's.

 

 

They regulate proper diuresis, proper salt retention, and most

importantly, PROPER CELL DIVISION AND GROWTH.

 

If proper cell division and growth is lacking, the end

result is cancer or auto immune disease.

 

The problem is, many Americans don't eat enough cold water fish with the

Omega-3 type oils.

 

The western type diet has many more Omega 6 type essential fatty

acids present in refined, processed oils, mayos and other unnatural fats.

 

Consumers have been getting an improper balance of Omega-

6's in the form of molecularly changed hydrogenated oils and fats

 

 

The first patent for the hydrogenation process was obtained in 1903 by

William Norman.

 

 

It was in this same year that Proctor and Gamble came out with Crisco

oil. Crisco is a combination of hydrogenated palm, cottonseed oil,

 

with lard and animal fats.

 

People then were not purchasing it, so P & G started giving it away,

literally.

 

 

In 1911, Mazola oil, a salad and

cooking corn oil was introduced.

 

 

Trans-fatty acids alter the normal transport of minerals and other

nutrients across cell membranes. This weakens the protective structure

and function of the cell membrane.

 

Hydrogenated gas is fused into the oils using a metal catalyst,

aluminum, cobalt, and nickel. Without the use of metals, hydrogen could

not be fused into the oils.

This fusion takes place under pressure at temperatures of 248-410

degrees... the oils are changed molecularly. When you

compare this altered essential fatty acid that has been changed into

trans- fatty acids, it closely resembles the molecular structure of Stearic

Acid.

Stearic Acid is used in the making of candles. It tends to make

them hard. Could it have the same affect on our arteries as well.

 

Hydrogenated oil is a preservative, and

a deadly one.

 

 

During 1973 to 1994, there was a 22% increase in cancer. This

information is available at the National Institutes of Health.

 

More unsettling is that from 1973 to 1992, there was a

31% increase, an additional 9% increase from the previous years.

 

Heart disease is claiming over 750,000 lives each year. The fusing of

metals such as aluminum into these oils could very well be the

reason why high levels of aluminum are detected in elderly people.

 

We know about aluminum and Alzehimers. Non radioactive

cobalt, the kind used as a catalyst in these oils is a component of

vitamin B12.

 

Studies suggest that this type of cobalt

causes cell destruction and nerve disorders.

 

 

In addition, the fatty acids have been changed molecularly so the

body doesn't know how to properly metabolize them.

 

Hydrogenated Oils and toxicity

 

 

Dr. Mary G. Enig is one of the leading

authorities on hydrogenated oils toxic effects on the human

body.

 

She presents the negative effects hydrogenated oils

and trans-fatty acids have on the human body.

 

The study showed many undesirable effects. Dr. Martin Katan from Holland

found that trans fatty acids lowers the

lipoprotein (HDL)- the good cholesterol and raises the lipoprotein

LDL- bad cholesterol.

 

Dr. Walter Willett, Chairman of Nutrition at Harvard Medical,

published a paper with a 14 year study involving 85,000 nurses. It clearly

shows that those consuming trans-fatty acids have the highest

rate of heart disease.

 

Other researchers such as Dr. Henry Blackburn, professor at the

University of Minnesota, Dr. William Castelli, Director of the

Framingham Cardiovascular Institute have the same findings.

 

 

 

 

European countries limit trans-fatty acids

to 4% in food, some ban them completely. Dr. Ancel Keys

published an essay proving that

 

hydrogenated oils are responsible for

heart disease.

 

Interesting is the fact that Phillip Morris, the largest

tobacco company owns Kraft Foods.

 

Resarch has shown ill effects of hydrogenated oils,

whether they be fully or partially hydrogenated. Either

hydrogenated oil is deadly.

 

 

according to Dr. Erasmus, 15% of the population in 1900 died from heart

disease. Today it is 44%.

 

In 1900, 3% died from cancer. Today, it is 23%.

 

Heart disease is a billion dollar business. No wonder no one

wants to admit the real research. Dr. Edward Siguel,

M.D. Ph.D, award winning researcher, found a specific correlation

between hydrogenated trans-fatty acids cancer and heart disease.

his study found that people with the lowest trans-fatty

acids had the lowest disease.

 

The latest findings from Harvard research in November, 1997, state,

 

" it's not the level of or amount of fat intake that increases cancers

 

and heart disease,

but the type of fats consumed, especially trans fatty acids. " .

 

 

Research shows that trans-fatty acids produced from hydrogenating oils,

elevate cholesterol and triglyceride levels two-fold. The largest group

developing heart disease is 21-29 year olds.

 

attention deficit disorder is linked to the consumption of these oils as well.

 

Does anyone remember the reports about Lorzenzo's Oil

a few years ago where a young child had essential fatty

acids metabolism problems. He had an auto-immune disease that could

eventually kill.

 

Thanks to a researcher, he came up with

Lorenzo's oil that corrected his immune disorder. This proved

the importance of how unchanged natural essential fatty acids are essential

for building of normal and healthy cells. In Lorenzo's

treatment he was forbidden to eat foods containing

hydrogenated oils.

 

 

Dr. Russel Jaffe, MD, just happened to discover that

 

hog farmers do not feed

hydrogenated foods to the pigs.

 

 

The reason being that hogs always *die* from eating foods with these oils.

 

When Dr. Jaffe contacted the U.S. Department of Agriculture, they admitted it

was common knowledge, however not in their

jurisdiction. The Federal Drug Administration said

they didn't have time to investigate.

..

 

Hydrogenated oil is utilized by the fast

food chains for french fries and numerous other fried

foods. Many baked goods have them as well.

 

Holman and his colleagues at the Hormel Institute at the University

of Minnesota have shown that trans- fatty acids disrupt cellular

function.

 

 

Dr. Lenore Kohlmeier in Finland completed a study on 700

women, (300 of them had breast cancer).

The study included the analysis of the tissue fat cells of the women.

Dr. Kohlmeier issued this statement,

 

" women who have higher stores of trans fatty acids have a

1.4 times, ( approximately 55%) higher risk of developing breast

cancer. "

 

 

Countries In Europe Allow Only 4% Trans Fatty Acids In Foods-

Some have a complete Ban on them.

 

 

Some countries-- Denmark for example, has banned hydrogenated oil for 40

years. It is interesting to note that Denmark has by far the lowest diagnosed

rate of

heart disease, cancers, breast cancer, diabetes, and auto-immune disease

than any other country in the world.

..

 

Margarines Benecol™ and Take Control™ have undesirable

hydrogenated oils and mono-diglycerides as well. You may want to

re-consider using them despite false claims of cholesterol reduction.

 

 

--

 

 

Mono-Diglycerides are just hydrogenated oils masquerading under a different

name.
