Did he mention that UFA's are weaker due to double bond, and hence more prone to oxidation damage? This is where plaque is purported to come from. But SFA's are much more stable.
PS whats a DAFA? A SAFA in mufti?
I wonder if this is because the husk is discarded, and most of these nutrients might be found in the husk? This is a scary list, and I do wonder if anyone has corroborated their research. We know flour has to be fortified, but mainly for vitamins and folate which are easily destroyed by processing, but i am surprised minerals such as calcium are so badly reduced.Additionally.....
White polished rice has lost between 26% and 83% of each mineral present in brown rice. Fat free milk (skimmed) has lost all of its Manganese and most of its selenium, as well as its Vits A, D, and E.
Over 50% of the calories in our normal Western Diet come from foods from which much of the m real, vitamin, essential fatty acid, and fibre content has been removed.

Having seen the process steps involved in Rapeseed oil, I do not dispute these findings. heating any oil or fat is known to produce toxins too. bubbling solvents through oil is not good news either. Yup. Slam DunkHis chapter "From Seed To Oil" has a decent summary of an in depth, detailed chapter looking at the history and current manufacturing (23 years ago):
So, we begin with a seed that is a rich source of essential minerals, essential vits, essential fatty acids, essential amino acids, fiber, lecithin, phytosterols and health-promoting minor ingredients.
Even making a fresh, unrefined oil - the highest quality of oil there is - all of the protein and fiber present in the seed is lost, as well as some minerals and vits.
It still contains EFAs, oil soluble vits, lecithin, phytosterols, minor ingredients and some minerals.
During processing, most of the remaining minerals and vits are removed. All of the protein and fiber is already gone. Lecithin, phytosterols and minor components are also removed, and some EFAs are destroyed (due to light, oxygen and heat in nearly all but "cold pressed" processing).
In addition, processing introduces toxic molecules resulting from the breakdown and alteration of fatty acid molecules.
Fully processed oils are the EQUIVALENT of refined (white) sugars, and can therefore be called "white" oils.
Like sugar, they are nutrient-deficient sources of calories but in addition, they contain toxins that are not present in sugar. Wow!!

Am i reading this quote right? Light? That we photosynthesise? That light has to be pure? He's lost me already
The vitamins and nutrients in veg has dropped hugely in 100years. I can remember council houses having to have gardens big enough to feed a family...
Disease and illness has gone up since the vitamins in our food chain has gone down..
He may be talking about the synthesizing of Vit D in the skin.
Let's wait and see!

I think diagnosis and reporting has improved over these years too which could be affecting these figures. One of my recent forebears died of Decrepitation at the turn of the century. I think many deaths occurred in 'old age' but there were many other factors that contributed to early deaths so these diseases of 'old age' did not mature like they do now. i think we are seeing deaths in younger people nowadays, which is probably more connected to modern factors.He quotes a stat from early assembled and tracked data from the early 1900s to the early 1920s when death from CVD and cancer was 15% (CVD) & 3% (cancer) compared to the levels 23 years ago (when this edition was written) of 44% & 23%.... That's an increase of 300% in 90 years and 600% in 90 years respectively.
On top of this other conditions of fatty degeneration: diabetes, ms, kidney probs, liver probs, and other have all dramatically increased in the past 90 years.
All very sobering!

To me 5 a day isn't enough with todays vits in fruit n veg... I'm glad that aldi's do a fair range of organic.. But I can't work out organic butter.. Nobody from the main buttter people seem to sell it and the only place I can get it is Tesco own??? I can't figure that out... Why would tesco own label be the only organic available butter??
Sorry, derailed again.. Love the shortened version of learning!!
Just a follow up now that I've got my genetic testing results. My PPAR genes say that I have normal fat metabolism, so no funnies to worry about there. I'm also lucky - I have the good version of FTO (aka "the Fat Gene"), so no genetic propensity for obesity. That said, I have over 20 polymorphisms that increase my risk of Type 2 - how surprising NOTThe genes particularly mentioned are PPAR-alpha, PPAR-gamma, FTO.
The one from AncestryDNA - then I used the Promethease tool to generate the report based on the downloaded raw data.Which test did you do?
https://promethease.com/Promethease tool sounds interesting. Where is it and what does it do?
