In a press release from the University of Lund, http://www.lu.se/o.o.i.s?id=1383&visa=pm&pm_id=1313 , one can read about Julia Svensson´s new cooking oil.
She will mix and randomize rapeseed oil and flax seed oil, and thinks that there should be useful new cooking oil to the people.
Flax seed oil contains high percentage of vegetable short-chain Omea-3. Rapeseed oil also contains a relatively high proportion of short-chain Omega-3. There is grass grazing animals which can transform into animal long chain. Then we eat herbivores, and have access to an animal Omega-3 that we need. Short-chain Omega-3 is only aggressively oxidizing, which is inflammation-inducing for us.
Moreover, we do not know what the randomization process biologically affects the human body. So one can only hope that they are testing the new oil in humans for many years with regards to disease and death before they start selling it to the public*. They may not live in the notion that Cholesterol is the only thing that matters for health.
* Elisabeth: This new cooking oil is already for sale over here. I actually saw it the other day. However, this cooking oil is only sold in Sweden as far as I know but I advise you readers in other countries to be on your guard against similar products because we don’t know yet about their effects on the human body.

I'm not so sure about rapeseed oil ... doesn't oxidation occur in the processing of the oil, making it inadvisable for consumption? I tend to keep with natural fats (butter, rendered pork fat, coconut, olive oils are mostly what I use for cooking).
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that unsuitable processing of the oil makes oxidation occur. On the whole Dr Dahlqvist recommends rape oil, olive oil, coco nut oil and of course butter. It must be the processing in this case she refers to when she mentions oxidation. Because I am economist and freelancing translator and not a physician myself I recommend you to ask Dr Annika Dahlqvist herself for more details about it. You can reach her on this email-adress: annika.dahlqvist@telia.com and ask for more specific details. Due to her medical education she probably has more knowledge concerning the chemistry around it.
ReplyDeleteThank you, is she fluent in English? I would very much love to correspond with her.
ReplyDeleteI don´t know if she is fluent in English but I am sure that her English is on such a level that ýou could correspond with her without problems.
