YouTube - Why So Many Are Sick
This video is very misleading, the presenter combines the highly processed animal food from fast food chain together with all animal based food ( including those from the organic source with the right cooking oil and method ) and label all of them disease causing satanic food with misleading statement ( like eating meat causes ... ) . i bet he didnt know that vegetarian french fries sold in thousand of fast food restaurants are more dangerous to human than eating beef burger.

In a flash, this reporter realizes that, whether country cut or curly, the fast food French fry is mankind's mortal enemy--one that will only become more insidious as its relative the trans fat is banned. In one super-sized serving there is enough lipid hydroperoxide to bring a grown man to his knees, lips moving in soundless desperation.

Food fried in vegetable oil contains a highly toxic compound - HNE (4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal)


Quote:
University of Minnesota researchers A. Saari Csallany, a professor of food chemistry and nutritional biochemistry, and graduate student Christine Seppanen have shown that when highly unsaturated vegetable oils are heated at frying temperature (365 F) for extended periods--or even for half an hour--a highly toxic compound, HNE (4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal) forms in the oil.

HNE is a well known, highly toxic compound that is easily absorbed from the diet," said Csallany. "The toxicity arises because the compound is highly reactive with proteins, nucleic acids--DNA and RNA--and other biomolecules. HNE is formed from the oxidation of linoleic acid, and reports have related it to several diseases, including atherosclerosis, stroke, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Huntington's and liver diseases."


Csallany's work underscores the risk of repeated heating, or reusing, highly unsaturated oils for frying because HNE accumulates with each heating cycle. In future studies, Csallany and her colleagues plan to determine how long polyunsaturated oil must be heated at lower temperatures in order to form HNE and its related compounds. The study was funded by the University of Minnesota.
I 'm pretty sure that if the presenter understood Csallany's work. He would have carried the presentation in a different way.
