Those who read foodconsumer.org often should have known that trans fat is linked to 100,000 deaths from heart disease each year in the United States, according to Harvard scientists. Trans fat can also increase risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus. However frying, which occurs often at 180 oC, can generate lots of nasty chemicals such as aldehydes, which are chemically reactive and they react with other molecules leading to mutations and boosting cancer risk among other things. http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Nutrition/Food/cocoa_prevent_colon_cancer_0124120707.html Food Wed, 25 Jan 2012 01:06:00 +0000 Contact: SINCinfo@plataformasinc.es34-914-251-820FECYT - Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology  Cocoa could prevent intestinal pathologies such as colon cancer  IMAGE: Cocoa is an excellent source of phytochemical compounds that http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Nutrition/Food/High_fructose_consumption_0124120709.html Food Wed, 25 Jan 2012 01:00:00 +0000 Editor's comment: Remember that fructose is high in high fructose corn syrup or corn sugar, which is used in many processed foods and beverages. High fructose corn syrup is very sweet, and cheap and give foods certain characters in some cases. But intake of too much fructose can be a serious problem. High fructose corn syrup is not the only food ingredient that contains fructose. Fructose in fruits can also be a problem. http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Nutrition/Food/bacon_0124121232.html Food Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:30:00 +0000 By  Conner Middelmann Whitney Bacon: Time to end this crazy love affair Eat processed meats as a treat, not a daily staple A new study should take some http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Nutrition/Food/wheat_0123120908.html Food Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:45:00 +0000 Editor's note: Starchy foods are not perfect for humans for sure. But other foods aren't perfect either. Just because starchy foods are not perfect does not mean we should rush to eat lots of meat and dairy products. Food consumers should be aware that too much meat or animal protein can be a problem too. Animal-based foods are known to have high levels of environmental pollutants like cancer-causing dioxins, according to the EPA. Western diet contains high amounts of meat and dairy products and Westerners are more likely to suffer more Western diseases like cancer, heart disease and diabetes. The most important thing for food consumers to do is avoid added sugars and excess edible oil/fat in processed foods. http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Nutrition/Food/whole_wheat_0121120452.html Food Sat, 21 Jan 2012 10:46:00 +0000 Posted By Dr. Mercola | January 21 2012 Visit the Mercola Video Library Story at-a-glance Grains contain anti-nutrients and lectins that can damage your gut, and humans did not consume them http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Nutrition/Food/processed_meat_pancreatic_cancer-0115120931.html Food Sun, 15 Jan 2012 15:15:00 +0000 By Maria Cendejas Sweden researchers have discovered that there is a link between eating processed meat like sausages and bacon, and pancreatic cancer, according to BBC http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Nutrition/Food/red_meat_processed_meat_0114120751.html Food Sat, 14 Jan 2012 13:48:00 +0000 By David Liu, PHD Diet high in processed meat and red meat linked with elevated risk for pancreatic cancer Saturday Jan 14, 2012 (foodconsumer.org) -- Many studies http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Nutrition/Food/raw_food_0114120634.html Food Sat, 14 Jan 2012 12:33:00 +0000 Posted By Dr. Mercola | January 14 2012  Download Interview Transcript Visit the Mercola Video Library Story at-a-glance There are two entirely different types of raw milk.
