Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 I just put up a page of articles of scientific studies about toxins in heated foods at www.thegardendiet.com/science I was searching for "toxins in heated fats/proteins/carbohydrates" and surfed through articles in medical journals for many hours. I was amazed by how none of the scientific studies on foods distinguish whether they are testing heated or unheated foods. Basic physics says if you heat a substance you change its molecular structure. So heated and unheated foods are totally different compounds. So when they say "vegetable oil are trans fats" it makes no sense because they don't say whether the tests were done on heated or unheated vegetable oil. (my thinking that I was trying to validate through this research is that trans fats are created in the heating of oils/fats). Some of the articles were so complicated that it would take a scientist to translate them. Yet why the whole scientific world seems to have overlooked the heated/unheated issue I don't understand! I did find some interesting articles about heated carbs, trans fats that seem to be contained in most processed foods, the physics of heat and water, and I found out very interestingly that the labeling of animal feed requires labeling for cooked or not! These articles are on the page mentioned above. I'm going to keep looking, collecting articles, and sending the scientists questions. I hope we'll have some raw-vegan scientists and doctors in the next generation who will initiate testing on heated and unheated foods, start asking the right questions, and come up with some valuable information.
