Before World
War II, the miracle-healing coconut had been used to help alleviate:
Coughs
Constipation
Malnutrition
Skin
infections
Toothaches
Earaches
Flus
And more!
But that all
changed when the war ended and the United States proclaimed hydrogenated oils
to be the "healthier oils." By the 1960s, a weak scientific theory
claimed that saturated fats-like those found in butter, eggs, milk, red meat
and coconuts - increased "bad" LDL cholesterol and were dangerous to
consume.
Nothing was
further from the truth! But this “health scare” was enough to push the public
away from saturated fats and instead to refined vegetable oils. This was
perfect for food manufacturers because they were far cheaper to produce.
It wasn’t
long before Western-style diets made their way to the islands and the old ways
were forgotten.
Cheaper,
mass-produced hydrogenated foods replaced traditional foods, like the versatile
and all-healing coconut oil that had kept the islanders healthy for
generations.
And for the
first time ever, diseases that had become prevalent among Americans… heart
disease, diabetes, cancer and obesity started to plague the island nations.
The Four
Unhealthy:-
"Healthy
Oils" You Should Never Consume!
Decades ago
when food processing first began, it became regular practice to alter that
which nature provided. Thus began the era of "franken foods."
Whole,
nutritious natural foods that mostly came straight from the farm to the table
were replaced by over-processed, refined and chemical laden, mass-produced
convenience foods.
And fats
were no different. Over four decades healthy sources of fats were replaced with
vegetable oils that were thought to be "better-for-you." We now know
they've done more harm than good.
The
following four are the worst offenders you should avoid at all costs:
Canola -
Animals and insects avoid it in nature, here's why you should too...
There is no
such thing as a canola in nature. Canola oil is actually a modified version of
rapeseed oil. Asian and Indian cultures used rapeseed oil for centuries, but it
was never consumed in the large quantities that Americans do.
The rape
plant (in the mustard family) contains cyanide-containing compounds and wild
animals and even insects avoid it in nature.
The refining
process of deodorizing and bleaching to become canola oil involves exposing
rapeseed oil to high heat, which greatly reduces the omega 3 content (perhaps
it's only original redeeming factor).
Consumption
of this "GMO Oil" has been linked to muscular disorders and fatty
degeneration of the heart, kidneys, adrenals and thyroid gland. To avoid it,
check labels closely - even in so-called healthy products - because it's
practically everywhere.
Cottonseed
Oil - An industrial plant saturated with pesticides...
Thousands of
commercially produced foods contain cottonseed oil; everything from canned
foods to chips and other packaged items. It is even in beverages such as
Gatorade. However, cotton is not a food crop, and is therefore not treated like
an edible crop but an industrial one.
Virtually
anything can be sprayed on cotton plants to ward off insects and induce growth.
Dangerous poisons such as trifluralin, cyanide, dicofol, propargite and naled
are used on cotton crops. These work their way deep into the plants, literally
transforming them into toxic organisms.
While it may
be ok for making pants and shirts, cottonseed oil is truly not safe to consume.
The majority of cotton plants are genetically modified - altered at the
molecular level. Even though we are not eating the cotton plant directly, the
extracted oil contains the same properties as the plant.
Besides a
high amount of omega-6 fatty acids, cottonseed oil has a similar protein
structure to peanuts, so people who are allergic to peanuts may have a serious
allergic reaction to this oil, as well. However, the FDA does not require an
allergy label on the oil - even though peanut oils can be fatal.
Safflower -
Studies show an increase of Omega-6 also increases the rate of death by heart
disease, reason enough to avoid this oil...
If you still
believe that saturated fat and cholesterol are a direct cause of heart disease
then safflower oil probably seems like a healthy swap.
Previous
studies had found that by substituting animal fats with vegetable oils such as
safflower, cholesterol levels would indeed drop.
However,
what the earlier studies failed to evaluate was the high ratio of omega-6 to
omega-3 fats in these oils and that the amount of omega-6 fatty acids in the
American diet was growing astronomically.
Researchers
now have evidence that it may not be cholesterol that kills, but omega-6's.
When a group of individuals replaced animal fats with omega-6-rich safflower
oil, their cholesterol levels decreased, however, the rates of death from
cardiovascular disease and coronary artery disease increased significantly as
compared to those consuming the animal fats.
These
results prompted researchers to re-evaluate their theories on saturated fat,
cholesterol and heart disease and point the finger at the formerly dubbed
"heart-healthy" omega-6 fatty acid.
Soybean -
The GMO, hormone disrupting nightmare "health" food they keep telling
you is safe...
Oh, the
ever-questionable soybean. While marketers will have you believe that soy is
beneficial because our healthy Asian counterparts consume it regularly, this is
arguably one of the biggest nutritional myths out there. Asians enjoy soy in
its fermented state and in considerably smaller quantities than we do.
Ninety-three
percent of American soy is GMO and most of the soy we consume is in its unfermented
state. This highly processed soy has been linked to numerous conditions
including thyroid damage and hormone disruption thanks to its large quantities
of estrogen-like compounds called phytoestrogens. As for soybean oil, up to 80
percent of the oil we consume today is soybean oil.
It's highly
processed and heavily hydrogenated and found in a vast majority of products on
supermarket shelves. And don't think choosing organic soy makes you any
safer... as some so-called "organic" soy farms have been found to be
fraudulent... passing off the GMO-product for the real thing. It's best to
avoid soybean oil completely.
We can
almost guarantee you have one of these oils or foods containing these oils
sitting in your pantry right now. Maybe you even used one of these oils when
you cooked your dinner last night. And today you're coming to the sad
realization that YOU'VE BEEN LIED TO BY THE FOOD MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY.
Actual healthy foods have been vilified-and your
"so-called" healthy food choices have been manipulated by
manufacturers getting richer by the day. All while your diet has grown more and
more nutritionally -void every
day!
