My particular thing is about Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil:
Invented by a German Chemist in about 1900. Adding more Hydrogen molecules to fats. To a Hydro-Carbon Fat chain, making an un-natural molecule. A way of turning vegetable oils into a hard, saturated fat, and trans-fatty acids, or trans-fats, which are free radicals, - dangerous oxidising agents, in the body. Humans should not consume trans-fats. Hydrogenated Vegetable oils are also supposed to displace more nutritous fats in the body. A cheap fat, Hydrogenated Vegetable oil was adopted for use in making margarine. May also be used for Deep-Frying. There is a suspected link between it and Heart Disease also Cancers. An estimated 12 Americans die of it each day. Other products using Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils are: Biscuits, most factory made vegetarian foods eg. Sausmix, most Linda McCartney (made by United Biscuits), Cheese and Onion Pasties, Cereal Bars; Many Processed Foods, Cheap Brand Frozen Foods, eg. Dalepack & Ross, Cakes and Gateaux, Chewy Mints, Pot Noodle, Packet Soups, Kraft's "Whirl" oil, supplied to Trade - Hotel & Catering, Hot-Drink Whiteners, used in machine vending, and Coffee Mate. (TradeMark)
The so-called "safe limit" is said to be about 5 grammes a day, - which is not a lot, given how many things it can be in.
My advice is to read the small print in the Ingedients list on the product packaging, before you buy, and avoid those foods with it in.
Also Mono-Sodium Glutamate cannot be excreted from the body.
Try to eat raw natural foods.
More than 500 grammes of Meat a week is also dangeous to health, with increased risk of Cancers. Also, for women, latest research indicates a stastitical probability that more than just 20 grammes of meat a day is linked to development of Breast Cancer.
Recent research indicated that, for a long life, the diet ought to consist of fruit and vegetables, including all kinds of herbs, and nuts, like almonds, with fish, olive oil, minimum 70% dark choclolate (or new low-temperature health chocolate), and a little red wine.
