The following excerpts are from David Lawrence Dewey's column on hydrogenated oils.
What have these toxic oils cost in health care costs because of the diseases they have caused? According to 2008 CDC data health care costsassociated with heart disease and diabetes alone in the U.S., $448.5 billion or 52% of total U.S. health care costs is spent on heartdisease and $174 billion or 20% of total health care costs on diabetes. Over the last ten year period, this is $4 trillion dollars, this is the leading cause of the soaring health care costs crisis in this country.
Did you know that when natural oils are hydrogenated, they becomestearic acid which is deadly to the human body. Stearic acid is what is used to harden candle wax. During the late 1930's and early 1940's, a new disease emerged. This new blood sugar disorder looked like genetic diabetes type I, acted like genetic diabetes type I which is a lack of insulin production, but this new disease was not caused by a deficiency of insulin. Insulin had become resistant for some reason in controlling blood sugar in humans. The medical profession was dumbfounded. All they knew was that a person produced enough insulin, but it was not effective in reducing sugar in the blood. They did not know what caused the insulin to be resistant. The medical establishment named this new disease then; non-insulin dependent diabetes, type II. You can read more about information about hydrogenated oils in Mr. Dewey's column.
Author/Columnist, David Lawrence Dewey was the first journalist in 1996 to warn consumers about the dangers of hydrogenated oils. He has updated his column since with new research and findings. Dewey was content, creative and journalistic consultant on the documentary.
