The Effect Of Trans Fats On Heart Disease And Plaque Buildup

In addition, other negative effects of GMOs include the increase in food allergies. Examples of increased allergies are present and includes soy. The percentages given by USDA displays that soon after GM soy was introduced, the statistics of soy allergies inclined drastically by 50% in the UK. Another piece of evidence that supports the given glaim is a skin prick allergy test. The skin prick allergy test shows that some people do not react to wild and natural soy, but to GM soy. Animal experiments were also underwent, and displayed food allergy increase with

Such unnatural crop selection slowly transforms our lush lands into monocultures, depleting the soil, harming the bees and other wildlife. To one mono-crop—soya bean—Patel devotes a whole chapter of his book, titled Glycine Max, that exposes the massive industry of soya bean production and post-production: from the soybean oil, to food for the cattle, to the enormously popular food additive lecithin. Hence, against the superpower of those who stand behind the soya bean business, one way to rebell, according to Patel, is to start cooking from the scrap, from simple ingredients and not prepacked foods brimming with additives. However, it is easier said than done,”I don't really like Ranch dressing, but can't seem to not have a salad without it” claims my friend

Bean historically have been, and still are in many parts of the world, an important part of the human diet (Levetin & McMahon, 2012). This is because of the high protein content, which is a supplement to many diets around the world, especially in places where meat is too expensive to consume regularly. A culture where this has been true throughout history, and is still true today, is in Costa Rica. In Costa Rica, one of the most widely consumed dished Gallo Pinto (Nalley, 2011). This dish is a mixture of rice and beans, and has been a staple in the Costa Rican diet.

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) is currently one of the biggest controversial topics in the United States. Some people believe GMOs is an incredible discovery because it allows farmers to mass-produce while saving millions. Other Americans believe that GMOs are toxic chemicals and the leading cause for diseases. The disgusting side effects of GMOs hits home for me. Amanda Krysa, a family friend and vegan for fifteen years was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer at the young age of twenty-eight. Amanda’s doctors have speculated that the GMOs in the soy products caused her cancer. U.S.-grown soy products are injected with GMOs. This is done in an attempt to help produce mass quantities of soybeans as well as to help make the foods last longer. Ultimately, however GMOs are hurting us. Ironically, Amanda began a vegan diet in order to live a healthy and long life, yet it’s possible that the GMOs she ate in order to meet her protein needs

Imagine you are at you favorite Asian inspired restaurant with your friends. You just finished ordering your food, when u look over and see that bottle of dark syrupy liquid off to the side.

Glycine max, more commonly known as soybeans, are part of the legume family and grown in various climates. The history of the plant, production worldwide, types, nutrition information, products from soybeans, pests, beneficial insects, and diseases are important to the present day growth of soybeans.

Quinoa (Chenopodium Quinoa) despite being one of the oldest crops in the area it was just recently domesticated, only about three to four thousand years ago in the Andean region (Ofstehage 2010). This region includes areas like Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Colombia. What all these areas have in common is their dry soil which Quinoa is usually found to grow in (Ofstehage 2010). The plant is widely known for its positive nutritional value, mainly its high protein which is hard to find in most plants. Sadly it contains saponins which messes with cell membranes in the small intestine. These saponins are only found in raw seeds but when processed correctly they get taken

Trans fat may not be as dangerous as people say. 1.) Studies show that some types of Trans fat may be good for you. 2.) Naturally occurring Trans fat could help protect the heart. 3.) Artificial Trans fat is not dangerous in low doses. This shows me to not eat lots of Trans fat. Small doses aren't dangerous but I have to regulate the amount of Trans fat I eat. I will eat more dairy products so it could help protect me from future heart problems. Not too much artificial Trans fat, such as packaged baked good, are bad for me, so I won't eat as

Most people think that fat is the leading cause of heart disease, but the real major cause is sugar. In 1967, sugar industries paid scientists to make stories and fake facts about fat in relation to heart disease to keep sugar in the clear. For about a century heart disease has been the leading cause of death in the US. Nearly 610,000 people die from it a year. it has been a real problem.

According to a Harvard Medical study, Trans Fats, which are a form of Hydrogenated oils are made by taking a molecule unsaturated fats (which are healthy) and adding hydrogen to them using heat and pressure. This allows the molecule to hold the maximum number of Hydrogen atoms possible. The synthetic molecule is unrecognized by the body; therefore, it cannot be properly digested by the body. According to the Harvard study, “This phantom fat—the worst fat for the heart, blood vessels, and rest of the body—was found in thousands of foods” and overtime Hydrogenated fats accumulate in the body and cause weight gain. They cause type II diabetes, heart disease, inflammation, and weight gain, and various forms of cancer. Nonetheless, the study also concluded that 100,000 deaths result from Hydrogenated fats each year. These fats are found everywhere: in baked goods, chips, fried foods, creams, ready-to-use dough, peanut butter, microwave popcorn, Chips Ahoy and Oreos. As stated in the article "Position of the American Dietetic Association of Food and Nutrition Misinformation”, If there is less than 0.5 grams of Hydrogenated oils, then companies are not required to have them on their labels. With the involvement of the government, Hydrogenated

Although soy-milk is now popular in Bangladesh and it has known that the postmenopausal women of our population do not get enough support due to our poor socioeconomic condition, illiteracy, ignorance, and inadequate healthcare system, and they are at risk of estrogen deficiency-health problems.

Stated by the Evidence of GMO harm in pig study, “GM-fed females have on average a 25% heavier uterus than non-GM-fed females, a possible indicator of disease that requires further investigation. Also, the level of severe inflammation in stomachs was markedly higher in pigs fed on the GM diet. The research results were striking and statistically significant” (Gmojudycarman). New studies have led to scientific credibility to anecdotal evidence from farmers and veterinarians who have reported reproductive and digestive problems in pigs on the diet containing GM soy and corn. Some farmers have even spoke up to the GM crops executive stating that they have noticed with feeding their livestock with GM crops have noticed increasing digestive and reproductive problems in

Soybeans grown in Illinois have a global impact by their variety of uses and products that soybeans are used for. ONe major use of the soybean is in agriculture. Soybeans are used to help feed livestock such as poultry Beef and swine. The soybean is a high protein and offer s amino acids that help balance the reaction. Soybean meal is also fed to fish on fish farms. Soybean meal is cheaper than fish meal and also better for the fish because it is digested easily which helps the fish turn the digested protein into body weight more efficiently. Soybeans also have a use for human consumption other than the use of livestock feed There is cooking oil that is made from soybean oil. Soybean oil is also found in mayonnaise and certain dressings.ASA

Tamari is a deeply coloured Japanese soy sauce which has a rich texture and intense flavour. It contains little or no wheat. Wheat-free tamari can be used by people with gluten intolerance. It is the "original" Japanese soy sauce, as its recipe is closest to the soy sauce originally introduced to Japan from China. With a higher soybean content, tamari has a stronger flavour and is ideally used as a dipping

The soybean is a species of legume native to East Asia, widely grown for its edible bean which has numerous uses. Soybeans are an important source of vegetable oil and protein worldwide. The beans contain significant amounts of alpha-linolenic acid, omega-6 fatty acid, and the isoflavones genistein and daidzein which claim able to fight against breast cancer, prostate cancer, menopausal symptoms and heart disease (Ruiz- Larrea et al., 1997). In daily life, we take soya bean drink and Tau Fu Fah, and we use tofu, tow-kua, fu-chok and tofu-pok in our cooking.
