Trans Fats and the Acne Sufferer
Why are these fats bad for acne sufferers?
Advice for the acne suffer and hydrogenated oils.
1.- Hydrogenated oils are what their name implies. The oils have been "hydrogenated" or had hydrogen as a gas added to them. What this does is make the oils very creamy and smooth. You can see this clearly in such packaged products like peanut butter, which have a perfectly unnatural smoothness. Compare that to the natural peanut butter with the oil separated from the product and on top!
2.- The problem with these types of hydrogenated oils in regards to acne is twofold.
a.- is that they clog the body, the body does not know how to deal with these types of oils.
b.- is that they inhibit the consumption of good oils. Naturally, any clogging for an acne sufferer is very bad.
The whole idea of natural acne treatment is to free up the body from restricting waste and then add good foods in. Unfortunately hydrogenated oils are an extremely clogging substance.
Prohibiting the body from absorbing good fats is also a problem.
The body tends to try to use these hydrogenated oils, especially since it is likely deficient in good fats. Unfortunately, the body can't utilize them and so they simply block the assimilation of good fats.
Check all the labels for foods, you must check the ingredient list for the word hydrogenated and avoid it all costs.
Do not just go by a package saying 0g trans fat! Here is why: if one serving of the product has less than 1/2 a gram of hydrogenated oils, the company is allowed to list it at 0g trans fat! In other words, it could have .49 grams of trans fat per serving! Now when you have multiple servings of that snack, you will be eating quite a lot of hydrogenated oils!
Many snack products have replaced the hydrogenated oils with other vegetable oils you don't really want to eat.
Don't think that just because there are no hydrogenated oils that it is okay to eat. Just make absolutely certain nothing you eat is hydrogenated oil. Things in packages are generally not what you want to fill your diet with. Become aware, and start reading labels. You'll find you don't want to buy that item anyway!
