America’s most widely consumed oil causes genetic changes in the brain; Soybean oil linked to metabolic and neurological changes in mice
UC Riverside News ^ | 1-17-2020 | JULES BERNSTEIN

New UC Riverside research shows soybean oil not only leads to obesity and diabetes, but could also affect neurological conditions like autism, Alzheimer’s disease, anxiety, and depression.

Specifically, the scientists found pronounced effects of the oil on the hypothalamus, where a number of critical processes take place.

“The hypothalamus regulates body weight via your metabolism, maintains body temperature, is critical for reproduction and physical growth as well as your response to stress,”

“The dogma is that saturated fat is bad and unsaturated fat is good. Soybean oil is a polyunsaturated fat, but the idea that it’s good for you is just not proven,” Sladek said.

Indeed, coconut oil, which contains saturated fats, produced very few changes in the hypothalamic genes.

“If there’s one message I want people to take away, it’s this: reduce consumption of soybean oil,” Deol said about the most recent study.

Still contains soybean oil and canola oil. Not really a step up from regular soybean oil based mayo.

Good choices. We get duck and goose every year. A frozen goose around Christmas costs about 5 dollars a pound. They sell duck and goose fat for about 13 and higher bucks a pound. A goose will produce enought fat to fill a 16 oz jar. It tastes great and is good for you too. Most people throw goose and duck fat away. Such a waste.

the italians were caught adulterating their olive oils. Big brands too.

I've been keeping an eye out for soybean oil in products (like salad dressings, but also butter substitutes, etc) for a while.

Soy also produces estrogens in the body and is a danger for males in particular. Moobs, thyroid problems and other soy-boi issues.

Highly processed food is slow poison.

Most of it is just simple carbs, something our body has never had in great abundance and doesn’t deal with very well.

Nor does our body need simple and processed carbs.

Not long ago I was in Chicago where I stayed there was a vending machine. It had Old Fashioned Donuts so I immediately scoffed. I bit into the donut and I approached Heaven on Earth.

Fried in lard and chocolate frosting made with chocolate, sugar and lard. Now I know that this is also a healthy or healthier choice. 😏😏
