Trans Fats - The REAL Killers

Suboptimal. It's a word that's almost synonymous with the fitness industry at this point. It doesn't matter what you try to do or what you try to eat, it's always suboptimal. And you know what? Maybe that ok. Maybe there's more than one way to skin this cat. And some consolations can be made to strengthen your relationships with food. But some lines are not worth crossing. Some lines will always contribute to an early grave and it's time to bring the next one into the light: Trans Fats. The primary sponsor of heart issues.

You have done more for my eating disorder than many of my friends and close ones. I was scared to eat anything that wasn’t protein or fiber before I found your channel. Thank you for your work, I know I am random guy on the internet but you’ve helped me a lot. Thank you

Ngl learning how so many companies are cutting corners and killing us just for money pissed me tf off. I am very thankful for this video.

When I was 8, my dad taught me about trans fats and hydrogenated oils after he had a triple bypass surgery. He explained that trans fats are basically poison, and as a good father he couldn’t let me eat poison, and that’s why I couldn’t have PopTarts anymore. I wasn’t happy but I begrudgingly complied. I don’t eat trans fats anymore to this day!

[loganator]

You should do a video on cooking oils!! There’s a lot to unpack there between different types of fat content, refined vs unrefined, and differences in smoking temperature. Forgive me if you did one of these already. I just found your channel

Love this content. With only 5 big american food companies having a monopoly over everything, they get away with paying for lobbyists and research with misleading conclusions, so it’s very easy to not trust what’s widely considered to be healthy or not. This channel clears up so much of what people are confused about with our food

I became a type 2 diabetic last month. Your videos have been so educational and I'm sharing them with my family and friends. We all deserve to live a long healthy life. Thank you!

My teacher in high school told us corpses in graveyards weren't decomposing fast enough for the gravekeepers to make room for new bodies due to trans fats, that thought stuck with me for quite a while

[Dr_DumbGuy]

I really like this real killer series, keep it up I’ve been learning a lot (:

Denmark was the first country to limit trans fats in 2003. It was limited to a maximum of 2% of total fats in base products. That means we can’t have more than 2% trans fats in the ingredients used to make other products, so even processed foods have way less than 2% trans fats.
Most people eat much less than 1 gram of trans fats a day here.

A study done a few years ago showed significant improvements in the amount of people with ischemic heart disease, with as much as a 50 to 75% reduction is deaths due to it, solely attributed to the “almost ban” of trans fats.

[Crosseyedhero]

I'm really liking this series and am learning a lot. Keep it up.

[olecorby]

Absolutely love your videos dude. Like I’ve said before in comments, as a dietetics major in college, your vids inspire me to keep going. Keep up the great work

6:05 It wasn't just that Crisco published a cookbook (several cookbooks actually), they also published recipes in their ads in every cooking magazine and newspaper in the country. This was a large scale, years long, massively successful ad campaign.

[GhostBeatboxFugu]

Love how informative these videos are. One of the best channels in recent years imo.

[CanadianJables]

I just learned more about fats in ten minutes than I have ever been exposed to in my 38 years, and it's not like I haven't tried. Your presentation and explanations were extremely clear, and having the chemical structure of the fats onscreen made it much easier for me to interpret and understand the information.

Can't wait to check out your other content, this could be life-changing for me. Thank you for the video!

[luisitonocomunica]

I’m Mexican, I’m terrible at cooking beans so I’m used to buying pre-made beans, I was watching a video from the food theorists and they were complaining about the 1.4 milligrams of trans fat in the hamburger so I checked the milligrams on my bag of beans and it was 26 milligrams!!! Yeah we need better regulation here in Mexico

Another great video :] I thought I'd provide some video suggestions:
1) Top Foods for Brain Health
2) Top Foods for Inflammation
3) Top Foods for Heart Health
4) Worst Foods for Skin Health
Thanks Talon

[codyc]

I feel like my own personal nutritionist when watching one of these videos, super cool :)

[Buddhaman]

Dude, your editing has taken a huge growth, and this video was phenomenal! If you think there is enough room for content a video on sodium would be amazing!

[TermL]

Amazing video! You should do a cereal health tierlist next; it's interesting how many cereals claim to be healthy, but they really aren't. It would be nice to see a video of yours cover a topic like that.
