Fats, Oils, and Acne

The next topic of diet I want to discuss with you is fats and oils.

Lately there has been a vast amount of attention placed on "good fats" and "bad fats"as well as Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9 balancing. Some people say to eliminate at completely, others say to eat it in abundance as long as it is "good fat."

However, the problem with all this discussion is that it does not address the core problem that Western peoples are having with fats. Before we can even talk about the proper Omega ratios, we  have to talk about hydrogenated oils.

Sugar and hydrogenated oils compete for the top spot in the extremely toxic ingredients that
are in almost all foods.

 Acne, a common problem in teenagers, results from a combination of hormone stimulation,
production of irritating fatty acids by certain bacteria, stress, and poor diet. 

This affection is tied to an overproduction of the oil in the sebaceous glands of the skin.

More water intake, eliminating fried foods and hydrogenated fats from the diet, and taking extra vitamin A and zinc will often reduce acne outbreaks.

Sugar and hydrogenated oils compete for the top spot in the extremely toxic ingredients that
are in almost all foods.

What exactly are hydrogenated oils?

Hydrogenated oils are made (as how the name might suggest) by bubbling hydrogen through a cheap vegetable oil, often soybean. This changes the nature of the oil so that it is no longer liquid at room temperature, but solid. It gives a creamy consistency to foods.

 

What is so bad about hydrogenated oils?


1.- Hydrogenated oils are brain poison. Studies are showing that after eating hydrogenated oils, brain activity decreases.

2.- Hydrogenated oils inhibit the absorption of good, healthy oils.

What exactly does this mean? It means that a diet high in hydrogenated oils prevents your body from absorbing healthy oils.

Let's say for breakfast you have some of those "tarts that pop" (You know, the ones that go in the toaster and all kids love?) 
 

For lunch you have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with crackers or chips. There is 3 sources of hydrogenated oils (tarts, peanut butter, and crackers). 

Then for dinner you have something healthy - fish and vegetables. So you end the day thinking you ate so healthy. Wrong. The good oils in the fish were not absorbed. 

The hydrogenated oils had filled up your body's capacity for storing fats, and so the good fats of the hydrogenated oils are wasted. What happens is the body tries to use the hydrogenated oils. It thinks they are real fats and it tries to make do with what it is given.

When you eat good fats, the hydrogenated oils are not immediately replaced with the good fats. It takes a few days of not eating hydrogenated oils to get a single serving out of your system. I think at this point a single serving of hydrogenated oils takes about 24 hours for my body to remove. How do I know this? When you get to a certain level of health you will really start feeling the detrimental effects of toxins in your diet. I get a headache right after eating hydrogenated oils and by the next morning it is gone.

Now, if you have been eating hydrogenated oils every day for most of your life then it is going to take a lot longer than 24 hours for all hydrogenated oils to leave your body. It is a cumulative effect. You cannot undo decades of wrong eating in 24 hours, however much we would like to do so. Isn't it great that it only takes a few months to completely remove the poison rather than the number of days we have eaten them? You can remove 15-25 years of poisoning in a few months - be thankful for that!

Of course, if you eat hydrogenated oils at any point you will slow down the process. Become familiar with what products contain hydrogenated oils at the grocery store. Basically anything in a package contains it. Sure eliminates a lot of rows of the grocery store doesn't it? At least your shopping trips won't take as long anymore!

Fortunately, this is a required ingredient to list on the packages of all foods. If you see a food that has the word "hydrogenated" in it - Run!

Next time we will take a look at what to replace hydrogenated oils with - you can't just eliminate hydrogenated oils from your diet and not replace them with anything! These critical replacement fats are extremely important to improving acne! Stay tuned...
