| A vegetable fat has the capacity to accept additional hydrogen in its molecular structure. The more hydrogen it is willing to accept, the more "unsaturated" (with hydrogen) it was in the first place. Conversely, a saturated fat is one which has combined to the maximum with hydrogen. In partial hydrogena-tion, the vegetable fat is brought only partially toward the saturated stage by incorporation of hydrogen in the molecule. Full hydrogenation would turn the oil into a solid fat; the partial process creates a semisolid, suited to be used as a spread for bread. |

| The vegetable oil is then subjected to hydrogen gas in a high-pressure, high-temperature reactor. After that, deodorizing agents and bleaches are added.
This hydrogenation process not only creates a cheaper, cleaner-smelling, longer-lasting alternative to lard, butter and beef fat, it also changes the molecular configuration of the oil, resulting in a substance that bears no nutritional resemblance to the healthful vegetable oil from which it was derived.
Partially hydrogenated vegetable oil has become the primary fat used in food manufacturing in the US. |

 He discovered that the water treated by the healers had undergone a fundamental change in the bonding of oxygen and hydrogen in its molecular makeup. The hydrogen bonding between the molecules had lessened in a manner similar to that which occurs in water exposed to magnets.9 A number of other scientists confirmed Grad's findings; Russian research discovered that the hydrogen-oxygen bonds in water molecules undergo distortions in the crystalline microstructure during healing.10
These kinds of changes can occur simply through the act of intention. |

 Ionic silver and hydrogen peroxide (35 percent food grade hydrogen peroxide) are two of the best things you can put in a hot tub or a swimming pool to kill the bacteria without chemicals. By the way, be careful handling the hydrogen peroxide, because at that concentration it will burn your skin. hydrogen peroxide is potent stuff: at 90 percent concentration, it’s rocket fuel.
Ingested silver can also treat resistant strains of bacteria, including MRSA. If you have a tooth or ear infection, for example, silver can do the job for you. |

 However, the hydrogen peroxide and menthol make these cleansing wipes a poor choice for any skin type. As a topical disinfectant hydrogen peroxide is an option, but it generates free-radical damage and that is harmful for skin. It is absolutely not preferable to the more stable and incredibly well-researched disinfectant benzoyl peroxide. Without the hydrogen peroxide and menthol, these wipes, whose solution is not rinsed from the skin, would have been a reliable product.

 Attached to the carbon chain are hydrogen atoms. If the chain is completely covered (i.e., saturated) with hydrogen atoms, the fat becomes a waxy solid and is called a saturated fat. If, however, hydrogen atoms are absent at several spots on the fat chain, the fat is called polyunsaturated. Polyunsaturated oils are liquids. And if just one spot on the carbon chain has no hydrogen atoms attached, the fat is called monounsaturated. Olive and canola oils are rich in this sort of fat. They are unusual in that they are liquid at room temperature but solid in the refrigerator. |

 This is happening because in the glass with heart disease the hydrogen and oxygen that are formed when the water molecule dissociates cannot recombine to H20. The "leaks" in the glass allow the hydrogen and oxygen to escape, and the amount of water in the glass gets smaller and smaller.
As the disease progresses, less and less of the hydrogen and oxygen are able to form back into water, more and more water disappears, and the level of water in the glass gets alarmingly low. |

 The activity was not due to pH, acid production or hydrogen peroxide production but was considered bacteriocin-like in nature (McGroarty & Reid, 1988). Lactobacilli produced a substance that inhibited Escherichia coli, which was not lactic acid or hydrogen peroxide (McGroarty & Reid, 1988a) and demonstrated the ability to coaggregate with uropathogens (Reid et al, 1988). Lactobacillus acidophilus strain LB produced antibacterial activity against gram-negative and gram-positive pathogens. Once again, lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide were not responsible for the antimicrobial activity. |

 Hydrogenation chemically alters oils by bombarding their molecules with hydrogen atoms that, in effect, saturate the unsaturated fats. This is done to make liquid oils solid at room temperature. However, since the hydrogen atoms attach themselves to the oil molecules in a different way than those in naturally saturated fats, the resulting fats are called trans-fats.
When fat is hydrogenated (hardened) to prolong shelf life, it destroys the essential fatty acids. Many, if not most foods, on supermarket shelves contain some amount of hydrogenated oils. |

As the disease progresses, less and less of the hydrogen and oxygen are able to form back into water, more and more water disappears, and the level of water in the glass gets alarmingly low. The water molecules that remain in the glass continue to dissociate and they form back into water as best they can, but there just aren't as many of them left in the glass. Finally, the glass empties, you go thirsty, and may eventually die. |
| Whether you know it or not, every time you fill a glass with water from the tap, some of the water in the glass breaks down to hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O), and then immediately recombines to again form H20 in a reaction that looks like this:
H20 leaves the glass and the glass remains full. Instead, as soon at the water molecule breaks apart (or dissociates), it is immediately reformed to water as hydrogen and oxygen molecules find each other and recombine. |

 Governments are beginning to take action on trans fats, which are mainly produced through a process of hydrogenation (an industrial process whereby oil is heated to a high temperature and treated with hydrogen to improve shelf life of foods) and are present in margarine, vegetable shortening, ice cream, puddings, cakes, biscuits, pizzas, pies, potato chips, doughnuts, and other processed foods. |

 The hydro-genation process involves heating oils to a high temperature in the presence of a metal catalyst such as nickel or aluminum, which causes a transfer of hydrogen atoms to the oil molecule. The oil molecule becomes straight, or stiff. When hydrogenated, oils that are liquid at room temperature become solid or spreadable, like margarine. Not surprisingly, the high heat of processing destroys enzymes, vitamins, and nutrients that are present in the natural oil. |

 This means that a hydrogen molecule is added to the natural unsaturated fatty acid molecules of the vegetable oil to make it more saturated. Hydrogenation, the adding of hydrogen molecules, results in changing the structure of the natural fatty acid to many "unnatural" fatty acid forms as well as from the cis to the trans configuration (see Figure 4.3). The result is that the vegetable oil is now solid or semisolid, but that structural change carries with it significant health risks. what makes saturated fats and most margarines "bad" and monounsaturated and omega-3 fatty acids "good? |

 Invariably, this question would be examined in the laboratory or mathematically tackled using the hydrogen atom. With one electron and one proton, hydrogen is the simplest atom in the universe to dissect. Quantum scientists struggled with the question of why an electron orbits around a proton, like a planet orbiting around the sun. In the solar system, gravity accounts for the stable orbit. |

 The hydrogenation process results in a chemical change in the oil, whereby hydrogen atoms are shifted to unnatural positions. As a result of this conversion, the hydrogenated oil becomes a foreign substance to the body. Our bodies are unable to distinguish the hydrogenated product from the non-hydrogenated product. These foreign substances (trans-fatty acids) are actually incorporated into the cell membranes. This will disrupt the normal functioning of the cells of the body, blocking the utilization of essential fatty acids. |

 After all, most of our biologic bodies are made up of Stardust— carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, iron, and other elements. Carbon combined with hydrogen and oxygen form organic compounds. The laws that apply uniquely to the universe above must also apply to the universe below. There is no simple dividing line between the two. The history of the universe abides in each of us. Nothing is lost in our evolution; we simply add on. We still have part of that ancient brain encased in our skulls. |

 Trans fats are created through a man-made process called "hydrogenation" by heating vegetable oil with hydrogen gas and certain metals to create a more solid form of fat. The process was designed for the purpose of food preservation in baked goods, to give cooking oils a longer life and to improve the texture of foods containing the product. |

 In a chemistry lecture, you might imagine those atoms that combine easily with hydrogen to be covered with fur in which the little hydrogen atoms tend to get caught. Picture the strange, varied coats of fur that would distinguish each type of hydrogen-trapping atom. Oxygen, for example, might have very wet looking fur.
In general, think of the lecturer as playing straight man to your comedian. Poke fun at the lecture. Think of the subject matter as being straitlaced and conservative, and strive to spice it up in your Freenoting. |

 These plants take the nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen molecules (carbon dioxide) from the air. With the help of the sun and water (combined hydrogen and oxygen molecules) and a few minerals from the soil, they make "solid" carbohydrates and proteins. Is our body any less capable of doing the same?
Human breast milk is a newborn child's most important and balanced food. However, in comparison with cow's milk, it contains almost no protein, that is, just about 1.5 percent. Compared with human milk, cow's milk contains three times the amount of protein. |

 And you do it by bubbling hydrogen gas through liquid soybean oil or other types of oils, using a catalyst (in most cases the catalyst is nickel). So with this nickel and the bubbling of hydrogen gas, you get extra hydrogen atoms attached to the molecules in oil, which makes them solid at room temperature. Since they are solid at room temperature, they can be more easily used to make margarine products, or used in crackers and cookies. And all of this, again, is for the convenience of the food manufacturing companies. |

 SATURATED FATS
Saturated fats are fatty acids that have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms attached to every carbon atom—they are "saturated" with hydrogen. Some saturated fats (like butter or lard) are solid at room temperature, while others (whole milk or cream) are suspended in liquid.
In the body, saturated fats are known to raise total and LDL cholesterol, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke, and may also increase the risk of certain cancers.
What's the bottom line? These fatty acids should be minimized! |
