When some fast food places changed over to no trans fat cooking oil, I began to get really sick. Some of my symptoms are: heart palpitations, feelings like I am going to faint, and inflamed sinuses with prolonged nagging cough, and alot of sneezing. This lasts six months, but can return whenever it starts to warm up in the 70’s +.
I asked a manager of a well known fried chicken joint if he could tell me what type of oil is the chicken fried in and he said, “soybean oil and one more ingredient called TCHQ”
I looked up TCHQ and it lead me to some scientific research over some other cooking oils even olive oils and it seems that something bad happens when oils are processed.
The words PCP/TCHQ does something like fragmenting the DNA of humans when their T Cells are messed up.
Now I don’t want to eat. This sucks!! Is there anyone who knows about this can explain it to me if I read this research incorrectly?
I monitor classes at a community college, and one of my classes is Nutrition. The instructor talked about transfats a couple of weeks ago. I wasn’t paying close attention, but I remember that he did say something about the switch in oils, and that the products restaurants are using in place of the stuff with transfats has its own problems.
But ya know, there’s lots of food you can eat that doesn’t have to be fried.
Interesting, but the linolenic acid thing has me confused. I thought the reason for the trans configuration was prevent hydrogen bonding with anything – not just fatty acids. I’d always equated to oxidation for some reason. In any case, they don’t describe the oil as saturated, mono-unsaturated, unsaturated, anything. What’s the fat configuration? Still mono-unsaturated, and the only thing that really causes rancidity (which is a health risk in its own right) is the fatty acids? Does that mean that any unsaturated fat becomes stable by eliminating this particular fatty acid?
