FOOD MATTERS, you are what you eat.

CORDLESS PHONES and RADIATION

by Connie Strasheim, Natural News

Many people are aware that prolonged cell phone use has been associated with brain cancer, but most don't realize how other sources of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation (EMR) also radically increase cancer risk.

Until recently, EMR has been given scant attention. It's a toxin that can't be seen or often felt; flawed telecommunication industry-sponsored studies have revealed that current EMR exposure levels are safe, so it has been mostly ignored in medicine. Furthermore, the US government, which receives massive tax revenue from telecom industries, has established faulty guidelines for EMR exposure. It has deemed safe levels to be thousands of times higher than what disinterested scientists have proven as safe.

Indeed, studies from such scientists reveal that current amounts of EMR from telecom towers and antennas radically alter the body's cellular communications' processes, leading to cancer and other diseases. These scientists believe that the dramatic increase in cancer in recent years has been due in part to the growing prevalence of EMR in our environment. And the amount of radiation that we are exposed to doubles yearly.

New telecom towers are constructed every day. Average city-dwellers have anywhere between 30-100 microwave towers/antennas within a four-mile radius of their home. All of these towers emit high-frequency electromagnetic fields that have been linked to cancer development. For example, one Germany study reported that living within 1300 feet of two microwave towers over ten years triples cancer risk. Other studies in Australia, UK and Italy revealed significant increases in leukemia among people who live near such towers. Many other similar findings have been reported.

EMR outside the home isn't the only type of high-frequency radiation we are exposed to. Wi-Fi routers, baby monitors, and cordless phones emit high-frequency radiation that has also been linked to cancer. When in use, cordless phones emit an amount of radiation similar to that of a cell phone. (One study revealed that thirty minutes of daily cell phone use, over ten years, increases the risk of brain cancer by 140%). Wi-Fi routers are similarly dangerous. G. Blackwell, PhD, Chartered Engineer and advisor to WiredChild, states, "Having a digital wireless device in your home, office, or school is like having a mini-base station (cell tower) indoors with you." And with Wi-Max (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) now being implemented across the globe, entire regions will be blanketed in cancer-causing high-frequency electromagnetic radiation.

CALORIES what are they?

A CALORIE IS NOT A CALORIE by Lynn Powers DeliciouslyFIT

Hello everyone its been a while since my last post but I've been very busy, however I just cant help it but I have to keep you guys up to date and share some more great information I just came across by a friend of mine and you guys can read more good stuff at https://www.facebook.com/DeliciouslyFIT.org
any way please have read this stuff is like poetry to my ears its the same thing I've been saying all this time, and whats good its coming from a professional fitness athlete, do enjoy people...

A calorie is NOT a calorie ...200 calories of processed, junk food with no nutrient value is NOT the same as 200 calories of real, food (veggies, fruit, chicken, fish, etc.). Your body does not receive this food the same way. A body eating the junk will not look the same as the body eating the real food. Eating the real food will produce beautiful healthy skin; shiny, strong hair, nails, bones; bright eyes, healthy hormones, organs, muscle growth, cell growth and repair, etc.... A body eating the same amount of calories eating junk will have bad, dull, breaking out skin, dull hair, brittle nails, illness and disease invading their organs, no muscle tone, fatigue, etc.... I hear so many people say "it's calories in and calories out" NO it isn't . Your digestive system is the key to your health. The digestive system needs certain nutrients, the right amount of pure clean water, and fiber to digest and absorb nutrients properly. Fad diets promoting their special desserts, packaged foods and telling you you can still eat all of your favorite junk food...are WRONG. The brain was created to KNOW how to read and send message to the body with real, natural food. The brain tells the body, hey guys here is an apple, you know what to do with it. When someone eats man made junk, the brain sends out and alarm to the body "warning warning" I don't know what the hell this crap is and I sure as hell don't know what to do with it either! The warning comes in the form of INFLAMMATION which turns into illness, disease, depression, fatigue, mental fog, hormonal imbalances, mood swings, etc. The brain and the body were created as a perfect running machine. What do you think would happen if you saw a deer begin eating McDonalds food...we were meant to be one with nature and eat accordingly. So when a diet company who wants your business lies to you and tells you that it's calories in vs. calories out...RUN

Hello again to everyone, recently I have been reading a book entitled Eat Right 4 Your Type, and lots of very interesting points came up, which primarily dealt with Eating for your Blood type. One of the many key points mentioned was how Lectins which are diverse proteins found in food affect your blood. The authors went on to say that when we eat foods containing these proteins called Lectins which are incompatible with your your blood type this causes a gumming effect interfering with digestion, insulin production, food metabolism and hormonal balance. The key here seeing that Lectins are found in most foods we eat, is to avoid the Lectins that agglutinate our blood type. For example we know gluten the most common Lectin found primarily in wheat is different from the Lectin found in Soy. What gluten does is that it binds to the lining of the small intestine and cause substantial information an painful irritation in some blood types.
The thing is we have certain strengths and weaknesses based on our blood type thus by eating the foods that are compatible to our blood type that have been predominant from ever since then, you will come to realize that none of us really need to create or go look for a diet plan, because one has already been there for us from ever since we just have been ignoring it all this time, and simply going around in circles.
Let me just stop here and break it down for you guys, back in the days early Humans were essentially Carnivorous Scavengers, now Human beings are essentially Omnivorous which means we eat Plant & Animals. Now the problem here due to the rise of technology man has found many ways to complicate things, with the modern processing technology we began to strip foodstuff of their essential ingredients and remove them from their natural state, so here's something to think about people in the RDAs (Recommended Daily Allowances) published by the USDA are for Age and Sex, basically what our nutritional experts are telling us is that the vast array of other human differences does not apply or affect the equation.
This people is madness it is a classic example of what is called Reductionism which means to take an entire population and reduce it down to the measurable commonalities by Age and Sex and build a premise from those commonalities, people this is total madness the system is screwing with us because the very people we depend on are a major factor in the whole health care problem today. What they are doing is Generalising Nutrition. We know that food affects everyone differently we all have our own metabolic typing, a man in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean or America cannot eat the same foods and have the same results impossible, they all have their individual blue print, so the bottom line is this, stop letting the system use us as lab rats, find out what is your metabolic typing, in doing so you will learn what foods you should be eating and how they affect your body, and further to also find out what's your blood type, using these to formulas will help to improve the quality of life, help reduce diseases and help to promote a long lasting and healthy life.

Until the next DIALOGUE I'm out remember, an investment in your health is the best investment you can make for your life.

Hidden Sugars?



From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Sugar is a class of edible crystalline carbohydrates, mainly sucrose, lactose, and fructose,[1] characterized by a sweet flavor Sucrose in its refined form primarily comes from sugar cane and sugar beet. It and the other sugars are present in natural and refined forms in many foods, and the refined forms are also added to many food preparations. The world produced about 168 million tonnes of sugar in 2011.[2] The world consumed an average of 24 kilograms of sugar per year for every human being of all ages, equivalent to over 260 food calories per day per human being.[3] In food, "sugars" refer to all monosaccharides and disaccharides present in food, but excludes polyols,[4] while in its singular form, "sugar" normally refers to sucrose. The other sugars are usually known by more specific names — glucose, fructose or fruit sugar, high fructose corn syrup, etc.

Hi everyone today I will Like to talk about the worlds next serious addiction after cocaine, that being SUGAR.

There are lots of sweet-tasting foods that don’t have the word ‘sugar’ in the ingredients list on their packaging, but still have sugar in them – its just labelled in a different way, for example ‘dextrose’ or ‘modified starch’. Check the nutrition information panel on the back of food labels for sugar content. The panel is usually found on the back of food products. Watch out for these hidden sugars, Here are just a few of the common sources:

1. Table sugar 2. Brown sugar 3. Powdered sugar 4. Cane sugar 5. Corn syrup
6. Sorghum 7. Maple syrup 8. Honey 9. Glucose, (aka dextrose) 10. Lactose
11. Maltose 12. Fructose - Even though fructose doesn't affect blood sugar as easily as sucrose, it is still a sugar and must be counted as a simple carbohydrate when you're keeping track.

There are other type of sugars found in chewing gums and breath mints such as,
13. Sorbitol 14. Xylitol 15. Mannitol 16. Maltitol

Here is how to monitor the sugar content of packaged foods on labels, If you see one of these near the top of the ingredients list then the product is high in sugars. Many food products labelled 'healthy', low sugar or no added sugar or 'herbal' may still contain sugar and most of them do anyway...

    15g per 100g is a HIGH sugar content, 5g per 100g is a LOW sugar content
How can you defend yourself against this high consumption of sugar? well the first thing is to read your labels and to know what to look out for. Knowing how to identify these sugars is the key next you have to understand that not because a label says 12g of sugar it means that the whole bottle contains 12g of sugar your wrong. you have to look at how many servings are there in the bottle, for  example if it says 4 servings  then it really means 12g of sugar multiply by 4 servings which gives you 48g of sugar in the bottle so which really means you just consumed 48g of sugar in your body WOW! yeap thats right now you know people.

The other alternative and probably your best one is to include Stevia as your sugar replacement.
What is Stevia? "Stevia leaves – This is the natural and unprocessed variety of stevia. Chewing raw or fresh stevia will leave a strong, sweet taste that does not quickly dissipate as does sugar. There is little practical use for this variety of stevia, which is why it is typically first dried and processed. Dried stevia leaves – Dried stevia leaves are cultivated via a drying and crushing process, providing considerably more sweetness than fresh stevia leaves. This is the form most often used in herbal stevia tea – a tea with very distinct flavors of anise (or licorice) which can blend well with other strong spices such as nutmeg or cinnamon. These green leaves may be sold “whole” or wrapped and packaged similar to tea bags and some stevia manufacturers even offer a fine powdered variety. This form can also be used in a wide array of recipes – from coffee and other beverages to oatmeal, etc.Stevia extracts – The Japanese favor this form of stevia which is up to three hundred times as sweet as table sugar. (Read our stevia history for information on the glycosides found in this white powder). Not all stevia powders are created equal. You’ll find that the level of refinement, processing, area of cultivation, and brand create a wide variety of stevia tastes. Much the way vanilla and other extracts are incredibly potent, so too is stevia. Stevia extract can be diluted in water and refrigerated for more convenient use and application.Liquid concentrates – Several types of stevia concentrates (not to be confused with extracts above) exist, including a thick molasses-like black liquid resulting from the boiling of stevia leaves in water. A second type results from steeping of stevia in water or an alcohol/water mix. Lastly, you may find a liquid form which uses white stevia powder diluted in water and preserved".

"Many people on diets, or suffering from illnesses like diabetes, choose to use artificial sweeteners in place of sugar, but these also pose health risks. Aspartame, saccharin, and Splenda (sucralose), although approved by the FDA, still pose many dangers. In many places in the world-Japan the best example-a leaf is taking the place of sugar, in the form of stevia. It is a plant that has been in use in many parts of South America for centuries, and poses no health risks. Unfortunately, in the United States, stevia has been blocked from mass production by the sugar industry, and has yet to be accepted by the FDA. It has been approved for use as a food supplement, not as an additive, meaning that it can only be found in specialty stores. Perhaps, once more testing is done, stevia can be accepted as the norm-as it is in Japan, Brazil, and many other countries-and sugar will once again become the hard to find, delicious treat, to be enjoyed on special occasions".

Should we drink coffee?

Recently I read an article outlining 10 reasons why coffee is good. Well today I will like to point out that when people write these articles instead of making general statements, please stop for a moment and consider that every human being as his or her own metabolic typing, and that foods affect each and everyone of us differently, however caffeine is totally different. Caffeine has the same effect on everyone which ever metabolic type you are whether you are a fast oxidizer or a parasympathetic dominant. Coffee worsens the imbalances in the cellular oxidative processes thus increasing the oxidation rate even further. This caffeine stimulates the adrenal glands which is like beating a dead horse in short term it's this stimulation is pleasurable but long term it only worsens the problem of exhausting your adrenal glands which as negative effectives on you system. Bottom line coffee is a stimulant and if used be wise about your consumption, until the next DIALOGUE I'm out.

7 Foods not to EAT


Hello everyone today i am not writing anything, however I am posting this article which was Written By Prevention Magazine and Published December 02, 2011. I posted this article because it says and supports everything I believe in regarding process food and natural food, I would just like to say thanks to the people responsible for this piece of work and I hope that after reading it many of you will have a clearer understanding about health and nutrition, happy reading.  
Food scientists are shedding light on items loaded with toxins and chemicals--and simple swaps for a cleaner diet and supersized health. Clean eating means choosing fruits, vegetables, and meats that are raised, grown, and sold with minimal processing. Often they're organic, and rarely (if ever) should they contain additives. But in some cases, the methods of today's food producers are neither clean nor sustainable. The result is damage to our health, the environment, or both. So we decided to take a fresh look at food through the eyes of the people who spend their lives uncovering what's safe--or not--to eat. We asked them a simple question: "What foods do you avoid?" Their answers don't necessarily make up a "banned foods" list. But reaching for the suggested alternatives might bring you better health--and peace of mind.
1. The Endocrinologist Won't Eat: Canned Tomatoes
Fredrick Vom Saal, is an endocrinologist at the University of Missouri who studies bisphenol-A.


The problem: The resin linings of tin cans contain bisphenol-A, a synthetic estrogen that has been linked to ailments ranging from reproductive problems to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Unfortunately, acidity (a prominent characteristic of tomatoes) causes BPA to leach into your food. Studies show that the BPA in most people's body exceeds the amount that suppresses sperm production or causes chromosomal damage to the eggs of animals. "You can get 50 mcg of BPA per liter out of a tomato can, and that's a level that is going to impact people, particularly the young," says vom Saal. "I won't go near canned tomatoes."

The solution: Choose tomatoes in glass bottles (which do not need resin linings), such as the brands Bionaturae and Coluccio. You can also get several types in Tetra Pak boxes, like Trader Joe's and Pomi.

Budget tip: If your recipe allows, substitute bottled pasta sauce for canned tomatoes. Look for pasta sauces with low sodium and few added ingredients, or you may have to adjust the recipe.

2. The Farmer Won't Eat: Corn-Fed Beef
Joel Salatin is co-owner of Polyface Farms and author of half a dozen books on sustainable farming.


The problem: Cattle evolved to eat grass, not grains. But farmers today feed their animals corn and soybeans, which fatten up the animals faster for slaughter. But more money for cattle farmers (and lower prices at the grocery store) means a lot less nutrition for us. A recent comprehensive study conducted by the USDA and researchers from Clemson University found that compared with corn-fed beef, grass-fed beef is higher in beta-carotene, vitamin E, omega-3s, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), calcium, magnesium, and potassium; lower in inflammatory omega-6s; and lower in saturated fats that have been linked to heart disease. "We need to respect the fact that cows are herbivores, and that does not mean feeding them corn and chicken manure," says Salatin.


The solution: Buy grass-fed beef, which can be found at specialty grocers, farmers' markets, and nationally at Whole Foods. It's usually labeled because it demands a premium, but if you don't see it, ask your butcher.


Budget tip: Cuts on the bone are cheaper because processors charge extra for deboning. You can also buy direct from a local farmer, which can be as cheap as $5 per pound. To find a farmer near you, search eatwild.com.

3. The Toxicologist Won't Eat: Microwave Popcorn 
Olga Naidenko, is a senior scientist for the Environmental Working Group.

The problem: Chemicals, including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), in the lining of the bag, are part of a class of compounds that may be linked to infertility in humans, according to a recent study from UCLA. In animal testing, the chemicals cause liver, testicular, and pancreatic cancer. Studies show that microwaving causes the chemicals to vaporize--and migrate into your popcorn. "They stay in your body for years and accumulate there," says Naidenko, which is why researchers worry that levels in humans could approach the amounts causing cancers in laboratory animals. DuPont and other manufacturers have promised to phase out PFOA by 2015 under a voluntary EPA plan, but millions of bags of popcorn will be sold between now and then.


The solution: Pop natural kernels the old-fashioned way: in a skillet. For flavorings, you can add real butter or dried seasonings, such as dillweed, vegetable flakes, or soup mix.


Budget tip: Popping your own popcorn is dirt cheap


4. The Farm Director Won't Eat: Nonorganic Potatoes
Jeffrey Moyer is the chair of the National Organic Standards Board.

The problem: Root vegetables absorb herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides that wind up in soil. In the case of potatoes--the nation's most popular vegetable--they're treated with fungicides during the growing season, then sprayed with herbicides to kill off the fibrous vines before harvesting. After they're dug up, the potatoes are treated yet again to prevent them from sprouting. "Try this experiment: Buy a conventional potato in a store, and try to get it to sprout. It won't," says Moyer, who is also farm director of the Rodale Institute (also owned by Rodale Inc., the publisher of Prevention). "I've talked with potato growers who say point-blank they would never eat the potatoes they sell. They have separate plots where they grow potatoes for themselves without all the chemicals."

The solution: Buy organic potatoes. Washing isn't good enough if you're trying to remove chemicals that have been absorbed into the flesh.


Budget tip: Organic potatoes are only $1 to $2 a pound, slightly more expensive than conventional spuds.
5. The Fisheries Expert Won't Eat: Farmed Salmon
Dr. David Carpenter, director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at the University at Albany, published a major study in the journal Science on contamination in fish.

The problem: Nature didn't intend for salmon to be crammed into pens and fed soy, poultry litter, and hydrolyzed chicken feathers. As a result, farmed salmon is lower in vitamin D and higher in contaminants, including carcinogens, PCBs, brominated flame retardants, and pesticides such as dioxin and DDT. According to Carpenter, the most contaminated fish come from Northern Europe, which can be found on American menus. "You could eat one of these salmon dinners every 5 months without increasing your risk of cancer," says Carpenter, whose 2004 fish contamination study got broad media attention. "It's that bad." Preliminary science has also linked DDT to diabetes and obesity, but some nutritionists believe the benefits of omega-3s outweigh the risks. There is also concern about the high level of antibiotics and pesticides used to treat these fish. When you eat farmed salmon, you get dosed with the same drugs and chemicals.


The solution: Switch to wild-caught Alaska salmon. If the package says fresh Atlantic, it's farmed. There are no commercial fisheries left for wild Atlantic salmon.

Budget tip: Canned salmon, almost exclusively from wild catch, can be found for as little as $3 a can.


6. The Cancer Researcher Won't Drink: Milk Produced With Artificial Hormones
Rick North is project director of the Campaign for Safe Food at the Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility and former CEO of the Oregon division of the American Cancer Society.

The problem: Milk producers treat their dairy cattle with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH or rBST, as it is also known) to boost milk production. But rBGH also increases udder infections and even pus in the milk. It also leads to higher levels of a hormone called insulin-like growth factor in milk. In people, high levels of IGF-1 may contribute to breast, prostate, and colon cancers. "When the government approved rBGH, it was thought that IGF-1 from milk would be broken down in the human digestive tract," says North. As it turns out, the casein in milk protects most of it, according to several independent studies. "There's not 100 percent proof that this is increasing cancer in humans," admits North. "However, it's banned in most industrialized countries."


The solution: Check labels for rBGH-free, rBST-free, produced without artificial hormones, or organic milk. These phrases indicate rBGH-free products.
7. The Organic-Foods Expert Won't Eat: Conventional Apples
Mark Kastel, a former executive for agribusiness, is codirector of the Cornucopia Institute, a farm-policy research group that     supports organic foods.


The problem: If fall fruits held a "most doused in pesticides contest," apples would win. Why? They are individually grafted (descended from a single tree) so that each variety maintains its distinctive flavor. As such, apples don't develop resistance to pests and are sprayed frequently. The industry maintains that these residues are not harmful. But Kastel counters that it's just common sense to minimize exposure by avoiding the most doused produce, like apples. "Farm workers have higher rates of many cancers," he says. And increasing numbers of studies are starting to link a higher body burden of pesticides (from all sources) with Parkinson's disease.


The solution: Buy organic apples.


Budget tip: If you can't afford organic, be sure to wash and peel them. But Kastel personally refuses to compromise. "I would rather see the trade-off being that I don't buy that expensive electronic gadget," he says. "Just a few of these decisions will accommodate an organic diet for a family."

What Does Raw Food Mean?

Today I want to talk briefly about Eating Raw... What does this mean?Eating Raw simply means eating foods in its natural form that has not been cooked in a temperature higher than 118 degrees Fahrenheit. When food is cooked above this temperature lots of its natural enzymes are broken down, causing your digestive system to do more work in producing more enzymes to break down this food in order for your body to absorb it, when in fact we should be doing more of the opposite, eating more natural foods which are higher in enzymes which our bodies need. Now everyone has joined the health crave bandwagon, you have this one and that one telling you this is better for you and that is not good, you should eat this and not that, but really people, we just need to eat more Natural Foods. We have been mentally brain washed with all this hype and marketing. I remember back in the days, I grew up with my grand-mom and we would go in the back garden and pick fresh corn and fresh tomatoes, eat mangoes of the trees and eat our own home grown chickens. Now everything is processed, too much fat, too much cholesterol, when the truth of the matter is that who ate more fat and consumed lots of foods high in these stuff but our grandparents, but you know what the main problem is back then things took its natural course to grow, can't say that for the food today, because you still have lots of food being grown fast yet they label them and say its natural...Please! This is the problem.There are some people out there that have these "natural" and "organic veggi" eating outlets but they still buy food stuff in tins like beans and what not, and they have the nerve to tell people that this is vegan food and natural. Come on people! If you are promoting something then do it right 100% all the way or just pack up and forget it cause your lying to the people and that's wrong.  For those of you and you know who you are, get your act together or get out. If we just take time to stop and check whats going on we don't need all these people telling us what to eat, cause there's lots of them and you know what, people are not living as long as my grand-mom who is 85 years old and many others like her and that's another problem. We are so health conscious that our generation can't even live to reach 60 years comfortable... Hello! Most of us will die before we even get close, but yet we have all these people telling us what we should and should not eat, so my friends just eat natural foods and forget all the hype. Stay away from process foods, exercise everyday and  get your rest. Enjoy all the foods you can but in its natural form as possible and I guarantee most of us will live to reach 85 years and more...Till the next Dialogue... I'm out! Keep it real, keep it natural.

Why We Need Water?

Dehydration is the loss of water from the body, and a depletion of
electrolyte levels (sodium and potassium). It is recommended to
drink 8-10 glasses of water daily but really we cannot put a figure
to just drink sufficient amounts of it daily.
Today I would like to talk about The Dietary Importance of Water. Water as we know it is the most abundant substance in our body. All of our cells in our body are made up of 55 to 75 percent of our total body weight. The food we eat contains about seventy percent water. Did you know that drinking 5 glasses of water a day can lower the risk of deadly heart disease? This study was released in April 2002 at The Loma Linda University. Researchers there said that people who drank five eight-ounces glasses of water daily were about half as likely to die of coronary heart disease as oppose to those who drank two glasses of water a day. Dr. Jacqueline Chan said; "The benefits were far greater than that of stopping smoking or lowering cholesterol". She went on to say that;"This is a really simple method of preventing coronary heart disease". Coffee, Soda, Milk, and Caffeinated Sodas did not show any statistically significant heart benefits. Dr Chan said that more research was needed to confirm the findings, but that researchers already adjusted the figures to account for other potential factors in heart disease fatalities such as smoking, calorie intake, exercise, blood pressure and socioeconomic status. The study also indicated that dehydration could elevate the risk factor such as Blood Viscosity, which brings me to my next point that ninety percent of our fluid blood is comprised of water, not to mention that a reduction in water means more concentrated blood. More importantly is that only a five percent loss of water from our blood can cause the blood to get thicker which contributes to clotting which makes the blood less efficient in delivering oxygen to our brain and muscles. Water contributes to energy storage, If you do not drink enough water to facilitate this, extra glucose remains in your blood stream until it reaches your liver, then the glucose is stored as fat, this means that you can get fatter or gain weight when you do not consume adequate amounts of water daily. So people the bottom line is this, Do not wait until you are feeling thirsty to drink water. By this time you are already dehydrated. Keep in mind that our muscles are made up of 70% to 80% water, although other drinks like milk, sodas and fruit juices are thirst quenchers, they actually increase your need for water.
Until then. Lets continue to Dialogue.

The GOOD FATS

In my last post I spoke about Trans Fats and Saturated Fats, Today I will Speak about the Healthy Fats these being Unsaturated Fats and is mainly found in Vegetables. This type of fat includes Monounsaturated and Polyunsaturated Fats, monounsaturated fats are olive oil, canola oils and peanut oils. These types of oils remain liquid at room temperature but will thicken when refrigerated this type of fat is considered one of the healthiest type of Fat for your body, which are also found in nuts and avocados. Polyunsaturated Fats are found in soybean , corn oils, and sunflower oils, these type of oils remain liquid at room temperature and also when refrigerated, For this reason it  is also the second best type of fat for your body and does not contribute to the clogging of your arteries. There is yet another type of fat known as unsaturated fat such as vegetable oils which are manufactured into a solid form, which are then turned into trans fats, These types of fats is commonly called fully or partially hydrogenated vegetable oil and can be found on the ingredients label of most processed products. Trans fats are mainly used in foods to protect against spoiling and also to enhance the flavour. Restaurants and fast-food outlets tend to use this type of trans fat allot (hydrogenated vegetable oil), especially for frying. so my friends the next time you go out to eat be wise, not because it is tasting good means that is healthy for your body, know the difference from good fats and bad fats read your labels and try to avoid eating out to much... until then thanks for the Dialogue I'm out.

Why We Need FAT?

Saturated Fats and Trans Fats can be found in most
fast-foods and fried products.
There are lots of reasons why our bodies need fat. Firstly Fat acts as the storage system for excess calories we consume mainly from dietary fat, carbohydrates and proteins. Fats are essential ingredients used to maintain healthy skin and hair also it acts as a carrier for the transportation of fat-soluble vitamins like A,D,E and vitamin K. Dietary Fats provides us with essential fatty acids, and these fatty acids our bodies don't produce, they also help with the regulation of blood pressure and cholesterol in your body. While we need fats in our diet it is also important to identify the types of fats that can damage our cardiovascular system and clog our arteries these being Saturated Fats and Trans Fat. Saturated Fats comes mainly from animal products and dairy but also it can be found in coconut and palm oils as well. Trans Fat comes from hydrogenated vegetables oils such as margarine and vegetable shortening, you might ask what is hydrogenated vegetable oil well it is high tech process in which Vegetable seeds are cleaned and bleached to remove all colour, taste, smells and impurities. The liquid vegetable oil is then heated to high temperatures and a catalyst (commonly nickel, but could be palladium, platinum or rhodium) is added. Hydrogen is bubbled through the liquid. The mixture is then filtered to remove the metal, leaving hydrogenated vegetable oil.Water, whey, salt, vitamins, colourings, flavourings and emulsifiers may then be added to produce hydrogenated margarine. More on this topic to come until then be wise about your fats, be healthy.
