What is the significance of transfatty acids in oils?

The significance of transfatty acids in oils is that we cannot metabolize them. Their counterpart is "cis fats", which are curled, but trans fats are straight. Since they aren't metabolized, they're stored in low-density lipids (LDL) -- the "bad" kind of triglycerides on the doctor's lab reports -- which leads to artery disease, heart attacks and strokes.

Are Raw Food Diets Healthy?

Is a raw food diet healthier than a cooked food diet? Traditional medical nutritionists say, "No," but proponents of raw foods say, "Yes." Who's right? A raw diet is a diet of unprocessed, plant-based foods such as vegetables, fresh or dried, nuts, seeds, legumes (beans) and grains. Raw food enthusiasts claim that cooking destroys the essential amino acids found in these foods, which allow animal-based nutrients to clog arteries as well as the digestive system. But other nutritionists point out that raw foods are deficient in important vitamins such B12, iron, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. These nutritionists advise that raw foods are only part of a balanced diet.
