There is yet another reason to avoid palm oil and question the authenticity of extra virgin olive oil.
The most widely used vegetable oil in the world today is palm oil. Pick up any package of processed food in a box, bag, bottle, or jar, and odds are it will contain palm oil. Palm oil not only contains the total cholesterol found in meat and milk, but concerns have been raised about its safety, given the discovery of a toxic chemical known as 3-MCPD, which is known by another method of heat treatment involved in the refining of vegetable oil. Therefore, these contaminants end up being full of vegetable oils and vegetable oils and found in products containing vegetable oils, including baby formulas. “
Although 3-MCPD has been found in all refined vegetable oils, some are more harmful than others. The lowest levels of toxic compounds were found in Anola OIL, and the highest levels were in palm oil. Based on the available data, this may lead to human exposure, “especially if it is used in deep salty foods, such as french fries. In fact, just five fries can reward the tolerable exposure made by the European Food Safety Gounsion. If you only eat such food once, it should not be a problem, but if you eat fries every day or, this may be a health concern.
Because the upper daily limit is based on body weight, especially the higher exposure values assigned to children who were on formula only than breast milk, because formula is made with European food safety oils – it may be dangerous to health. The average exposure of the host is likely to be three to four.
If infants are not receiving breast milk, “there is nothing else that is not actively produced infant formula.” As such, the vegetable oil industry needs to find a way to reduce the levels of these additives. This is another reason why breastfeeding is best whenever possible.
What can adults do to avoid exposure? Since these chemicals are created in the oil refining process, what about sticking to undefined oils? Refined oil has 32 times 3-MCPD compared to its unrefined counterparts, but there is an exception: toate sesame oil. SesAme oil is not defined; Producers simply reduce sesame seeds. But, because they are less in roasted sesame seeds, it is possible that 3-MCPD was developed earlier.
Virgin oils, defined, undefined. They are never deodorized, the process by which most 3-MCPD is made. In fact, this is how you can discriminate between different brands of olive oil processing. If the so-called Extracgin Virgin Olive Oil contains MCPD, then it must be diluted with refined olive oil. The ease of repatriation of extra virgin olive oil, the difficulty of acquisition, economic drivers, and the lack of regulatory measures all contribute to the reduction of olive oil fraud. How much of a problem is there?
The investigators examined 88 bottles labeled as extra virgin olive oil and found that only 33 were found to be genuine. Does it help to stick to the best selling lists of extra virgin olive oil? If so, 73% of those samples failed. Only one out of four are true, and not one type with half of its samples pass the test, as you can see here and at 3:32 in my video 3-MCPD in refined cooking oil.
Doctor’s Note
If you missed the previous post where I introduced 3-MCPDs, take a look Adverse effects of 3-MCPD on Bragg’s Liquid Aminos.
There is no substitute for human breast milk. We understand that this may not be possible for adoptive families or those using surrogates, however. In those cases, look for the nearest milk bank.
