Hey, I dare you to eat this!
Drs. Tom and Laura Gross
In the first two editions of this article we introduced
the ideas that although our salvation does not hinge upon our diet,
there are very important considerations worthy of our attention.In this
edition we will further expose some specific problematic foods to get
out of your diet and kitchen.
If I gave you a pasty substance on a spoon and told
you it qualified as a poison according to Dorland’s Medical dictionary’s
definition, would you eat it?What if I re-assured you and told you it
tasted good, even saying it tasted like some of your favorite foods.Now,
to satisfy the need for full disclosure I would have to say, if you
consume it you will be at risk for the following and more;
- Headaches
- Joint pain & Back pain
- Arthritis
- Asthma
- Skin problems
- Hot Flashes
- Premenstrual syndrome & Menstrual cramps
- Chronic use/abuse of pain killers (NSAID’s)
with their associated risks
- Heart Attacks and Strokes
- Cardiovascular Disease,Increasing Blood
Pressure, Cholesterol, Heart Attack Risk Factors
- Auto-Immune and Inflammatory diseases
- Cancer
WOW!Who would eat that stuff. You and I and the American
public eat it by the barrel straight from the grocery store shelf! It
is called
Hydrogenated or Partially Hydrogenated Fats
or Oils
Partially hydrogenated oils DO NOT EXIST IN NATURE.Natural
fats exist in what is called the “cis” form.Cis fats metabolize
properly and build healthy flexible cell membranes.Partially hydrogenated
fats exist in the un-natural “trans” form.Trans fats
alter the structure of our delicate cell membranes and disturb normal
fat metabolism in a destructive way.Natural cis fats are ½ metabolized
(Half Life) in 18 days.Trans fats’ ½ life is 51 days, inhibiting
essential enzyme pathways and building unhealthy cells all the while.That
means the Jiff “peanut butter” and Dorito’s chips
you feed your children will be damaging their cells and slowly laying
the seeds of chronic disease for well over 51 days if they eat nothing
else with trans fats.Most Americans eat this stuff daily, and feed it
to our children and we are a nation leading the world in degenerative
diseases.
READ LABELS!Your health and the health of those you
feed depends on it!These fats are in practically everything on the grocery
store shelves; margarine, vegetable shortening, most chips, cakes, candies,
cookies, microwave popcorn, peanut butter,“prepared” food
both frozen and canned, chewy granola bars and other so-called heath
foods, and the list goes on… Prov 23:1-3
