Farmed Salmon fat?

[summerwave]

I have read that Americans have on average 5% or more transfats in their body fat due to transfats in their diet. Is this junk science, RRM? That is, the source I read (I cannot retrace my path to find it) seems to say that transfats are "inert," and that the body doesn't know what to do with them, so "stores" them this way (as toxins).

Is this possibly the factor in farmed salmon; or in any commercially-raised animal given transfats in its feed, that upsets your particular metabolism? You've said your body is very sensitive to (and rejects) farmed salmon nowadays, you feel due to its fats.

no, its true, Europeans are a bit 'behind' on this (about 50 to 60% of that, i believe.

Exactly.

Yes, i think that this is the case.

Wow; so whatever raw animal food you eat (other than raw yolks, probably) has probably some transfats if commercially-raised.

(I'm sure it's in a lot of the feeds and if not that, in supplements, as even supplements for humans are loaded with hydrogenated fats like calcium or magnesium stearate).

Wow. So farmed or non-organic fish, beef, lamb, chicken fat that doesn't explicitly state otherwise probably has trans fats.

I'm almost transfixed by the possibility of all the mischief in our wonderful, commercially sourced foods.

It is time to buy a chicken for eggs, and bulk up on brazil nuts!

If brazils didnt have such a a poor omega ratio then thats all Id eat. Im very tempted to stop buying fish and just use egg yokes!

I wonder if this finds its way into eggs.

I eat egg yolks (chicken) as well as fresh (unheated/non-heat-processed) fish roe from freshwater fish. The latter are frozen by me for 3-5 days, though they are available for purchase on ice, due to some guessing I am doing about parasite prevention (I'm not sure fish eggs really carry parasites though).

So for both of these-- the chicken eggs organic; the fish eggs from the wild-- I wonder if there is no problem with transfats.

Jodiat, are you under the impression that an ideal omega ratio is 1:1:1? Because I don't think this is true.
