| Psoriasis.. A Natural Approach Saturated fats and the importance of omega 3 essential fatty acids Saturated fat Saturated fats have played an important part in our diets as we evolved over the last million or so years. Now despite the commercial drum that cereal manufacturers and other fast food manufacturers are continually beating, saturated fats are in fact good for us and protect us from disease. That flies in the face of what you thought to be true doesn't it! Well it is true! Around 30 to 40 years ago research was being carried out by various scientists and medical bodies into the role that saturated fat played in causing heart disease. Interestingly much of this research was funded by vested interests with a stake in the results! Well again interestingly, they found that people who ate saturated fats had high cholesterol levels. Okay nothing startling about that. We are meant to have cholesterol in our bloodstream it plays a vital part in your good health. However the typical blinkered commercially funded medical research of the time latched onto cholesterol as the cause of heart disease. The myth of cholesterol, saturated fats and heart disease had begun! A license to print money This was like manna from heaven for the breakfast cereal manufacturers, the sugar manufacturers, and the chemical sludge manufactures... oops I mean margarine manufacturers to grab hold of and exploit to the fullest possible extent. The guys who had funded the research in the first place. Too bad we as the human race had lived on saturated fats for hundreds of thousands of years with virtually no heart disease and cancer for that matter. In fact, as a species, we suffered hardly any, if any, of these serious "modern" degenerative metabolic diseases in the past as we evolved. Oh no... that was totally irrelevant in the eyes of the medical people and the manufacturers who were funding this "break through" research. This was ground breaking stuff. A license to print money for BIG BUSINESS and BIG FOOD! Food corruption You can just see them in their boardrooms can't you. The drug company directors resolving to develop cholesterol lowering drugs. The vegetable oil company directors working out how they could produce ever more heat and chemical extracted oil from seeds and grains. The sugar manufacturers rubbing their hands in glee because the focus was off sugar as the number one cause of diabetes and heart disease, amongst so many other problems it causes. ("White Death" as sugar and refined white flour rightfully should be called.) The chemical companies now had open reign to develop ever more chemicals to add to food to make it softer, last longer, stop it rotting, to change the colour to hoodwink children, to make it taste different to a natural food and corrupt youngsters taste buds... and on and on... with now literally thousands of chemicals appearing in our foods cosmetics and personal care products! Disease starts in childhood Is it any wonder many infants in their first tender formative years are becoming chronically ill. They then go on to develop into children with ADHD asthma, eczema, autism (that is another story in it's own horrific right!) and a host of other perplexing chronic problems the medical profession have absolutely no answer for except to prescribe synthetic drugs (read chemicals) for them. What a disgrace! Chemicals are causing the problem yet they prescribe even more chemicals. I digress. Lets get back to the issue of saturated fat. Now why do you think saturated fat should suddenly become the bad guy in our diets when the human race has lived with saturated fats as a large component of their diet for so long? VESTED INTERESTS! If there was no money to be made from the flawed research which was originally carried out, then the research would have been dead and buried by now. Latest research, in fact research for the last 20 odd years has been showing that: • Cholesterol DOES NOT cause heart disease! High cholesterol levels have nothing to do with the initial build up of artery plaque. They are there by association not THE CAUSE. Artery plaque is caused by a combination of factors which include free radical activity, and the production of homo-cysteine in the body. Cholesterol was thought to be the cause - now known not to be the cause . It is now a well known and scientifically proven fact that high cholesterol levels do not actually cause the artery plaque. It is a combination of several other factors that do. • Eating animal foods and balanced saturated fat DOES NOT cause your cholesterol levels to rise and therefore put you at risk of heart disease! The body produces cholesterol from the liver on demand and the levels are predetermined to what is required for the individual. Remember the garbage that the scientific medical people came out with, quite a few years back now, about eggs being bad for you because they would raise cholesterol levels? Well you only need to feed raw eggs a week to a cat or a dog to see the effect that eggs have on their health. Their coat becomes soft and sleek and they are so obviously well when eating eggs. You know why? Free range eggs are full of omega 3. The essential fatty acid we need in decent quantities in our diets! So for years the egg industry had a hard time selling a natural wholesome food because of flawed research. A cautionary note is needed. Man in his infinite wisdom has denatured eggs by forcing hens to live un-natural lives cooped up in cages (battery hens) without access to grass, greenery, insects and free range conditions. The eggs from battery hens are nowhere near as good for you as hens fed a balanced and natural diet with ready access to the outdoors and sunlight. More often than not chemicals and antibiotics end up the average battery hens eggs! Organic eggs are naturally better for your health! • Animal fats containing a natural balance of saturated fat and essential omega3 is essential to help prevent many if not all metabolic disorders. You only need to look at populations such as the Eskimo of Canada and Northern Asia to understand the role that animal fat has played in protecting their health. Even allowing for the fact that their diet is almost devoid of vitamin C for most of the year, these people still lived to quite a good age (late sixties to mid seventies) on a diet which by our "learned" standards would cause us to develop heart disease and all sorts of problems. Why could they do this? It flies completely in the face of what we are told by the "experts" is bad for you. No fruit, very few vegetables and a predominance of animal protein and fat. What do the so called nutritional experts say is good for us? More grains and cereals less saturated fat and animal protein, more fruit and vegetables! Well okay but how do they explain why the life expectancy of the Inuit and other Eskimo's suddenly plummeted to the mid fifties or less once grains and refined carbohydrates and vegetable oils were introduced to their diets? You don't need to take it from me that saturated fats, provided it comes from naturally reared grass fed animals and other unadulterated sources like wild animals is good for you. There is a wealth of information and research that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that omega 3 essential fatty acids are lacking severely in our western diets. Lets look at some of the myths and mistruths about vegetable oils that have been touted over the last 30 odd years as being beneficial for us. Myth #1 Margarine is better for your health then butter. (WHAT GARBAGE!!!) Chemical sprays and additives Lets look at how margarine is produced and manufactured. First of all, vast tracts of land are sprayed with glyphosate (a chemical originally developed by Monsanto, one of the chemical company giants in the world) to poison all vegetation currently growing on that soil. Now glyphosate is a very useful chemical. It kills virtually everything it comes in contact with, yet allows most oil seed crops to grow without any toxic effects on the crop itself. Too bad if there are toxic effects on micro soil organisms. That doesn't matter when profit is involved! (Glyphosate just happened to make hundreds of millions of pounds for the patent holders Monsanto by the way. But that is immaterial too of course!) It meant huge areas of land could be more economically cultivated and vast areas sown with a mono-culture crop designed specifically for one purpose. As the oil seed crop is sown another chemical or chemicals are sprayed as a pre-emergent control for weeds that may germinate at the same time as the crop. So far so good. Pesticides Then the farmers have to use specific pesticides such as an organo-phosphate based compound and other insecticides to control specific insect pests that developed to devour this harvest of wonderful food conveniently grown for them in a mono-culture situation. Incidentally organo-phosphates were originally developed as chemical warfare nerve toxins by the Nazis during the World War and are now thousands of tonnes of this powerful neuro-toxin (insect killer) is sprayed onto our food crops annually. GM Crops As time went by companies like Monsanto realised that if they developed special genetically modified plants then they could use higher rates of their chemicals on the land without the crop being affected adversely. Great! But how much of the extra chemical ends up in the plant being cropped if it doesn't affect the plant. How much of the chemical ends up in us? Genetically modified crops are worthy of a book in their own right. Ignore GM peril at your cost! You can make a powerful statement by ensuring you never buy anything that has GM modified food listed on the label. Fungicides So a cycle of chemicals and ever more chemicals had started even before the margarine was out of the plant stage. Next giant combine harvesters come in and reap the crop and it is trucked away to a central location. Sometimes the harvest needs to be stored for long periods before the processing to extract the oil can take place. In many cases special chemical fungicides are sprayed on the grain or seed to stop mould developing, to stop any insect attack and to keep rodents away. Are you starting to appreciate that margarine involves a few chemicals already? Okay what happens now? Well here is the interesting part. Up until now the seed or grain may have been a relatively natural and edible grain as in the case of maize or sunflower seeds but all natural processes now fly out the window. Solvents and heat = PROFIT To return the maximum profit from the crop there are some special processes that the grain or seed must go through to extract every last drop of oil and money. After all this is BIG BUSINESS and they are after BIG PROFIT! YOUR HEALTH does not enter into the equation! Here is the rub! For the maximum quantity of oil to be produced from the crop, a combination of more chemicals (solvents) and super heating of the seed or grain takes place. This process can be quite different for different crops but it all ends up achieving maximum returns from a given quantity of grain or seed. Powerful solvents are used to chemically pull the oil from the seed, then by super heating the oil the solvents are evaporated out of the oil making it "safe" for you to consume in your margarine. "Safe" residues??? Sadly this process does not take into account that vegetable oils no matter what the crop, become potent sources of free radicals once the temperature is raised past approximately 180C degrees. Further, despite the manufacturers efforts to remove the toxic solvents, residues remain in "safe" quantities in the oil that you consume. Butter "butters" margarine greases But there is more. We all know that you can't "butter" your bread with oil. Well you can't "butter" your bread with margarine either! However, the clever vegetable oil manufacturers would like to hoodwink you into believing that you can "butter" bread with margarine. It sounds a lot better than "greasing" or "sludging" or "oiling" your bread with margarine doesn't it! So how do you "butter bread" with this chemical sludge. Well leave it to the imaginative BIG FOOD boys to figure that out. Add a few more chemicals Here's how they process the denatured oil through a few more steps before it is in a form that can be used as a natural butter substitute. Now, the oil is already a tasteless, slimy, viscous de-natured liquid that even the most desperate rat or insect would not eat because it does not contain any food value at all. So some essential vitamins are added, some synthetic colouring more often than not is added to make the oil resemble natural butter colour, some chemical anti-oxidants to make it last as long as butter, some chemical flavourings to make it taste like butter, and then the whole lot is hydrogenated to change the molecular structure of the oil and make it solidify and resemble butter. Then to stop it going hard in the fridge a chemical or synthetic emulsifier is added just for good measure! Natural Margarine????? Then some margarine manufactures have the hide to use the word "NATURAL" on the packaging that contains their particular brand of chemical sludge! I can remember it being common place for doctors to tell patients to eat chemical sludge (read margarine) because it would protect their hearts from disease!!!! It just shows how powerful vested interest propaganda is doesn't it. It is a very misinformed doctor today that would say the same thing. However, sadly some doctors still mistakenly believe vegetable oils no matter what the source, are good in your diet. Makes you wonder where doctors get their information from! There are some exceptions of course when it comes to vegetable oils. If you source and use completely natural, cold pressed oils from an organic supply then I have no argument with that. Cold pressed virgin olive oil is one that springs to mind along with other natural cold pressed oils from sunflower and grape seed. Toxic crops produce toxic oil As a rule stick to cold pressed oils and only from a plant that you would be able to eat the fruit or seed of as part of your diet, that is if you had the choice to be able to pick the grain or seed and eat it. Never consume oil or anything that comes from any plant that would not form part of the human diet. An example is "Canola" oil made from the toxic rape seed! Canola or rape seed oil should not be consumed by humans under any circumstances. Rape seed crops are one of the primary causes of seasonal hay fever and asthma attacks here in Britain. Does this give you some indication that perhaps the oil from the seed is not good for you? I could write a complete chapter on the dangers of consuming toxic rape seed oil. I will leave that for you to find out more information on however. Bear in mind if you consume any heat and chemically extracted oil that is from any source, whether the crop is able to be eaten by humans or not, then you are damaging your health and your ability to live a disease free life. Well that's all for this report. Next report we look at the myth, more vegetable oil is good for you, as told to us by the "experts". If you are still using toxic toiletries then I suggest you eliminate them from your bathroom as many of the chemicals contained in shampoos, conditioners, skin creams, mouth wash, toothpaste and most cosmetics are quite toxic for sensitized people. In fact it is quite well known by natural health specialists that Sodium Lauryl Sulphate can be a potent sensitizer and opening the door for other chemicals to enter your system. Have a quick look at your shampoo and see if SLS is one of the ingredients. I will be very surprised if it is not listed right up near the top as one of the major ingredients in your shampoo!
