How Partially Hydrogenated Are You?
 

I'm basically healthy (in appearance at least). Up until about 1 year ago I was pretty ignorant about the dangers of Trans Fats. Now, I read the ingredients of everything I buy at the grocery store. If it contains any partially hydrogenated oil, I look for a substitute. But now I'm a little concerned about all of the damage I've done over the past 3 decades.

What are the best types of foods to reverse the damage?

Brent turned me on to these hemp hearts

super foods

if i was any more hydrogenated, they'd call me oreo. :) :) :)

pommegranate... eat one a day and you'll be reversing a lot of that damage. Also try to get broccoli and spinach at least twice a week, all fresh of course.

Is pommegranate juice just as good?

Sadly not, a lot of the beneficial anti-oxidants are in the seeds which you digest through eating the fruit itself.

Eating it is a hell of a job at start but you'll get the hang of it. Just don't wear anything the first time you eat one lol

i am concered about trace elements i consume living out here in the desert

Fruits and vegetables will help and omega 3 fish oils might help also. Much depends on your genetics as to how your body will handle all that you've been dumping into it. At least go get a full cholesterol screening done and get an idea of just how much damage may have been done.

red wine!!

I dissagree. Most of the anti-oxidants are in the juice of the seeds.

You need to stop eating burgers and switch to pizza.
