Are The Foods We Eat, Always Safe?

foodsThe consequence coming out of this change was to obscure what was actually the incredible rise in diabetes cases over this same period.

It has always been the enormous profits as being the motivation factor that is possible with artificial food. Based on today’s standards, this Margarine was barely edible. It wasn’t too palatable, for it consisted of such things as Hog Fat, Gelatin, Fat, Bleach, Mashed Potatoes, Gypsum and Casein.

It was in 1899 when David Wesson established a vacuum and high temperature process for deodorizing cottonseed oil. Then in 1903, William Norman patented the hydrogenation process. This process was used to prevent unsaturated fatty acids from becoming rancid, by turning them into saturated fats.

It was also during this same period that refined oils made great inroads into the market place and became attractive to the consumer.

The American Eskimo, whose diet formally consisted of about 60% animal fat, remained healthy without any signs of diabetes for several generations. But, after they became wealthy from their pipeline revenue, they adopted the typical American diet of artificial foods.

As scientific studies increased, several misleading studies came out regarding artificial fats, and the oil companies asserted the value of “polyunsaturated” or “monounsaturated” oils to ones health. A polyunsaturated Cis, or natural fat, is a desirable and necessary part of a healthy diet.
