Trans fats that's a huge topic and it is
now on the label of most foods how much
trans fats are in there so manufacturers
of course are trying to sneak around
that and make it look good even when it
may not be so trans fats you want to
really really avoid these things because
there's only two things that everyone on
the planet agrees on regardless if
you're a vegetarian or a carnivore or a
low carb or high carb everyone agrees
refined sugar is bad and trans fats are
bad and when we say trans fats we're
talking synthetic man-made trans fats
there are some that occur in nature
they're actually very beneficial and
there's a video over here where I talk
more about what trans fats are today I
just want to talk about the label to
understand this you have to see that
oftentimes on a margarine or something
they'll say the serving size is 1
teaspoon 5 grams and then they say that
the trans fats are 0 grams per serving
well this could actually mean that it
has less than half a gram which means
0.499 grams is still less than half a
gram right so you could actually have a
full 10% trans fat in the product and
they still put on the front label that
it has zero grams trans fat per serving
okay and yet you're getting 10% trans
fats so there is no safe limit on these
synthetic trans fats they are poison
they've been linked to so many of our
degenerative diseases so the key to
understand is that if it has anything on
the label about height
Rajan Aden oils hydrogenated soybean oil
hydrogenated canola oil hydrogenated
anything or partially hydrogenated then
don't ever ever ever buy that product
again if it's a margarine or it's a
cookie or a cracker or a biscuit you
don't want to eat those at all in the
first place but if they have any of
these on the label then you definitely
don't want to do it go with natural
foods go with butter grass-fed butter go
with coconut oil go with extra virgin
olive oil these are the fats that your
body needs and if you eat fish or meat
then just make sure that they are
wild-caught they are grass-fed they come
from a situation where they had a normal
healthy life that was natural to that
species then if they were healthy then
they're healthy for you and do
everything that you can to stay away
from these synthetic products these are
frank and foods they have no place in
your body and they will only cause
injury so remember don't believe the
labels whatever they say about being
trans fat-free or zero grams - trans fat
if it has any of these words in there
it's a synthetic product and it is very
very unhealthy please share this
information so that others can benefit
