Trans Fats & the affects on the Brain

A great article by Dr. Mercola (link below) shows the links between fats and health issues. A few important facts are listed below and a link to the entire article is listed as well. First of all we all need fats. As the article states, for decades, saturated fats have been demonized as the cause of heart disease. As the article further points out, the food industry, responding to such health concerns replaced saturated fats with trans fats, and a whole new market of low-fat (but high in sugars) foods was born.

Here a few short excerpts:
  • A number of dietary links between dementia and heart disease exist. Excessive sugar/processed fructose, grains, and trans fat consumption are 3 factors that promote both.
  • Preliminary findings reveal that trans fat is linked to a higher risk of memory impairment.
  • Trans fats may act as a pro-oxidant, contributing to oxidative stress that causes cellular damage.
  • Vegetable oils oxidize when heated, and when oxidized cholesterol and trans fat enter into your LDL particles, they become destructive, contributing to arterial plaque buildup in your brain.

Research shows that trans fat clogs arteries, not saturated fat. Dr. Fred Kummerow, author of Cholesterol Is Not the Culprit, has researched fats and heart disease for eight decades, and he was the first researcher to identify which fats actually cause clogged arteries.

If you want to protect your health, particularly your heart, brain, and gut, you should try to avoid as many processed foods (including most restaurant food) as much as possible, and start cooking at home, using fresh, whole, unadulterated ingredients.
  • Avoiding sugar, processed fructose, and grains if you are insulin and leptin resistant. This effectively means you should try to avoid (must) most processed foods.
  • Eating a healthful diet of whole foods, ideally organic, and replacing the tgrain carbs.
These are some great high quality healthy fats:
