New Generation of Fried Foods
Frying oils and the foods fried in them are evolving to fit the needs of a new generation of health-conscious consumers.
“Today, the trends are to utilize oil or oil blends that provide 0 grams trans fat per serving, along with a moderate level of saturates,"
saturated fats are not all bad. Saturated fats raise high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. The ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol is a more specific marker of coronary artery disease than is low-density liopoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.
Saturated fatty acids as well as hydrogenation are important because they impact frying-fat stability. Oil stability may be less of a concern in the home kitchen where it might be used once and tossed. The rigors of industrial or foodservice operations demand fry life to extend beyond a couple of batches. Polyunsaturated fats, such as soybean oil, corn oil and cottonseed oil, break down quickly when exposed to air.
The breakdown products from polyunsaturates, aldehydes, are much more reactive than those of monounsaturated or saturated fats. Their consequences to human health are of concern. Two of these aldehydes, 4-oxo-[E]-2-decenal and 4-oxo-[E]-2-undecenal, have been linked to some neurodegenerative diseases and certain cancers.
Monounsaturated fats, like peanut oil, canola oil and sunflower oil, are slightly more stable. “The breakdown of monounsaturated fats is not as bad as you get from polys, but you do get more breakdown than you get from saturates,

Regular Olive Oil Consumption Cuts CVD Risk by 44%
Incorporating just two tablespoon of olive oil into a diet may reduce the risk of several chronic diseases, in particular cardiovascular disease (CVD) by as much as 44%, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The findings provide further evidence on the beneficial effects of one of the key Mediterranean dietary components.

The enzyme glutathione peroxidase, or GPx3, is a natural antioxidant that helps protect organisms from oxidant injury and helps the body naturally repair itself. When found at high levels and alongside low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), can dramatically reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD)

Natural Compounds in Mango Peel Curb Obesity »
the study found that the peel from “Irwin" and “Nam Doc Mai" mangoes contained high concentrations of bioactives that inhibit development of human fat cells. The researchers said a complex interplay of bioactive compounds unique to each peel extract is likely responsible for the difference, rather than just a single component.

The top 10 prescribed drugs for children 17 and under in 2010 included antibiotics, asthma medications and the pain reliever ibuprofen. Antibiotics accounted for approximately one-quarter of all prescriptions written between 2002 and 2010
"It's likely that this represents some of the efforts to cut down on antibiotic use, and this will help to decrease the risk of antibiotic resistance."

those eating the most (6,200 mg a day) were 21 percent more likely to develop high blood pressure. Those who had high uric acid and albumin levels and ate the most salt were 86 percent more likely to develop high blood pressure.
How much salt is 2,200 milligrams of salt? About a teaspoon.
Much of the sodium the average American consumes comes from processed foods.

We are, on average, heavier than we were in the 60s. And not because we’re eating more or exercising less – we just unwittingly became sugar addicts. Read this GREAT article from the UK:

Researchers found that men who drank more than seven cups of tea per day had a significantly increased risk of prostate cancer compared to those who drank no tea or less than four cups per day.
"We don't know whether tea itself is a risk factor or if tea drinkers are generally healthier and live to an older age when prostate cancer is more common anyway."
"We found that heavy tea drinkers were more likely not to be overweight, be non alcohol-drinkers and have healthy cholesterol levels.
"We would therefore not wish any man to be concerned that drinking a moderate amount of tea as part of a healthy diet will put them at an increased risk of developing prostate cancer."
