    Dietitians and government spokespersons
    are finally admitting that trans fats have many
    harmful effects; unfortunately, they continue to
    insist that trans fats are “just as bad” as saturated
    fats (the kind found in butter, meat fat and the
    tropical oils), implying that saturated fats are
    very harmful. In fact, saturated fats play many
    important roles in the body chemistry and have
    the opposite effect of trans fats.
     Trans fats raise Lp(a) (indicating they cause
    heart disease), while saturated fats lower
    Lp(a).
     Trans fats interfere with immune function,
    while saturated fats enhance immune function.
     Trans fats inhibit the body’s use of omega-3
    fatty acids and the production of long-chain
    omega-3 fatty acids, while saturated fats
    enhance the body’s use of omega-3 fatty
    acids and the production of the long-chain
    versions.
     Foods containing trans fats are associated with
    increased asthma; saturated fats are needed
    for the proper functioning of the lungs.
     Trans fats contribute to weight gain, while
    some types of saturated fats (the mediumchain
    triglycerides) boost metabolism and
    help with weight loss.
     Trans fats are associated with increased cancer
    and decreased fertility. Sources of saturated
    fat, such as butter and meat fats, contain
    many nutrients that fight against cancer and
    promote fertility.

    Check this out

    Manufacturers start with the cheapest vegetable
    oils, extracted at high temperatures
    and pressures from corn, cottonseed, soybeans,
    safflower seeds and canola.
     The last fraction of oil is removed with hexane,
    a carcinogenic solvent.
     The oils, already rancid from the extraction
    process, are steam cleaned. This destroys all
    the vitamins and antioxidants, but pesticides
    and solvents remain.
     The oils are mixed with a finely ground nickel
    catalyst.
     The oils are then put in a reactor where at
    high temperatures and pressures, they are
    flooded with hydrogen gas. The molecular
    structure is rearranged—what goes into the
    reactor is a liquid oil, what comes out is a
    smelly, lumpy, grey semi-solid.
     Soap-like emulsifiers are mixed in to remove
    all the lumps.
     The oil is steam cleaned (again!) to remove
    the odor of chemicals.
     The oil is then bleached to get rid of the grey
    color.
     Synthetic vitamins and artificial flavors are
    mixed in.
     A natural yellow color is added to margarine—
    synthetic coloring is not allowed!
     The mixture is packaged in blocks or tubs and
    promoted to the public as a health food.


    By the way this is How Margarine and
    Shortenings are Made

    ive never distibuted books at the airport,just a few times. the last time i was distributing books in LAX,i was with the biggest book distributor in L.A. ,from past years. i wouldnt go with anyone except her.her name is Jagadambika,and her husband is the treasurer for many many years at the L.A temple..i would only go with an expert because im not experienced with that form of book distribution...i still ask her to go,but she is too busy with other services and her body cant handle the austerities of carrying books,etc..when i went with her,some years back.a sikk from India(with the turbins,offered me a trip to india,which is aMAZING,THOUGH i didnt accept it. he also told me that i should be meditating on the prajapatis..they are mentioned throughout the srimad bhagavatam..they had special powers and were the progenitors...{very special,though i cant remember exactly}..i have alsways given books as gifts..after people give me money..another type of sankirtan. i always carry books in my van and i travel a lot so i meet tons of people wherever i go.for example,if i met a person from india in a seven 11 i would just give them a book,for a gift.....i have tons od books,including hard back books in my house.i plan to bring them with me when i get the funds to leave L..A and take a trip through arizona,colorado,and south dakota..its been too long since ive been to colorado.
