FATs!


to get slim n thin is what most of the girl,lady even to woman's dream..because to them that is the most best way to be "pretty"...they have choose many ways to get rid of the fats which have accumulated in their body especially fats...and the most common way is have a diet which minus down their food intake...yes...scientifically have proven that..this way is effecttive...no glucose in take....then fatty acid will take incharge to gain energy..but the end product is getting a substance which will cause cholesterol...the more u practise this weird diet..the more high chances for u to get cholesterol...anyhow the best way is still exercise.

Have anyone aware about trans fat?

when oils and fats containing unsaturated
fatty acids are hydrogenated in the presence of a catalyst,Trans fatty acids(TFA) are produced . Hydrogenation increases the melting range of the unsaturated fats and thus
enables their incorporation into many solid fat formulations. When an
unsaturated fat or oil is fully hydrogenated, all the unsaturated fatty acids
are converted into their saturated analogues.
Partial hydrogenation, in the presence of nickel catalysts, results in
the formation of trans fatty acids that are the geometrical isomers of the
unsaturated fatty acids, and at least one double bond in the trans
configuration is present. This trans double bond configuration reduce the fluidity of the
fatty acid thereby increasing its melting point. Thus, partial hydrogenation
of liquid oils has been the tool of choice to enable their use in solid fats,
especially margarine formulations. Partial hydrogenation actually results in
both cis and trans fatty acids anywhere between carbon 4 and carbon 18
of the fatty acid molecule with elaidic acid being a major
isomer .

As a result of consuming high amount of trans fat:

longer chain length of the fatty acid showed a proliferation of perisomes in the liver

Essential fatty acids (EFA) are transformed in the body by a series of reactions into long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids for development of the nervous system and eyesight. TFA compete with EFA for the enzyme binding site. new born infants,especially is premature,show borderline deficiency in EFA.Human Adult shows negative impacts after a long-term consuming TFA.

Common Trans Fat Sources

Next time you encounter the following foods, be reminded of their high trans fat content:

  • Crackers
  • Doughnuts
  • French fries
  • Cookies (also rich in saturated fat)
  • Vegetable shortening
  • Hard margarine
  • Pastries (also rich in saturated fat)

Artificial Food Colourings

Up until the 1950’s, natural plant and vegetable were used to add color in foods. For example, pale red colors could be achieved from beets, green could be achieved from chlorophyll. As times goes by,the chemical industry started to develope and they found out that by creating food colouring,they can earn big money! They started to convinced the food industry to use chemical based colors because they were more convenient, cheaper to use.

Today, more and more food contain Food Colouring which is hazardous to our health because it is 1 of the toxic sources.. These chemicals can cause serious diseases and mental disorders in humans. artificial food coloring ingredients are made with petroleum and are a derivative of petrochemicals and coal tar. These chemicals shouldn't be ingested by humans or animals. Yet, a few artificial food coloring products are added to many different foods and sold on the marketplace.

FIVE of these food colourings are the most famous food colouring used for foods today and are linked with cancer in animal testing.it also linked to migrain and nausea.





Red 3: This artificial coloring is sprayed on cherries, fruit cocktail, baked goods, and candy. They have done an experiment on rats and thyroid cancel slowly develope.




Red 40: This dye is in common snack foods such as Goldfish. it is 1 of the main cause of hyperactive disorder and migrains.its molecular structure is very similar to dyes that have been banned for being proven carcinogens.





Blue 1 and 2: These artificial colorings use in candy, baked goods, pet foods, and beverages. They have both been linked to cancer in mice. in 2003,there is a case study where a patient died because Blue 1 leak into the bloodstream.





Yellow 5: There is strong evidence to suggest that Yellow 5, also known as tartrazine, causes tantrums and hyperactivity in children.





Yellow 6: This artificial coloring which is one of the most widely used, can be found in sausage, gelatin, baked goods, candy, and beverages. Yellow 6 can be 1 of the reason to cause tumors of the kidney and adrenal glands.





Green 3: this colouring is seldom used but it has a great impact where cancel may develope. It is often found in candy and beverages.





Orange B: Approved for use only in hot dog and sausage casings. a study carried out using a mice.the mice is constantly feed with orange B and it is found out to cause urinary obstruction,which can later on damage the liver.



How can we avoid consuming foods with artificial colorings that are harmful to our health?

look at the food label before we purchase food, this is to avoid ourself from consuming too much of artificial colouring. if its possible, put the product back to the rack once u found out tat it contain food colouring.Instead, buy organic, natural foods that do not contain man-made chemicals that cause illness and disease.Chilidren are STRONGLY DISCOURAGE to consume food with artificial colouring.



The bottom line? It is good to be aware of what you're buying. Read labels carefully and be suspicious of any food product that looks bright and colorful.

MSG !


MSG is something hidden in the food labels but USUALLY appear in all FOODS! MSG is a highly toxic ingredient. It will not only cause sleep disorders and migraine headaches,it can even lead to Alzheimer's disease. MSG is a chemical that does not belong to the human body. It can even interfere with normal appetite regulatory functions and make it almost impossible for people to lose weight, especially if they are currently obese and they cant stop eating due to the yummy-ness of the food.

Each person seems to show different symptoms due to genetic and the immune respond of a person towards MSG, and the degree of reaction to MSG seems to vary. Some can tolerate some of it, while some might react violently to the smallest amount added to their food.

MSG enhances flavor, and, without exception. It is added to the food due to the low quality used and the public prefer TASTY food rather than HEALTHY food.

MSG is also concealed as a chemical compound in many cases so that the public will not realize they are getting a chemical fix, and they will not realize they are buying rubbish quality food.

MSG has been around in its natural form, from sea weed, pectin, gelatin, and other such food sources, for centuries. Oriental people love using MSG because MSG enchance the flavour of the food. the eater enjoy the food, and the seller can enjoy great sales!

So, you will have to think whether you want to deal with this. MSG is something non essential to a happy and healthy living. You do not NEED MSG to enjoy food, but it is a different story if you feel that you wanna have rubbish food and rubbish health.

You need to consider the symptoms which is caused by MSG.MSG, can pass through the brain barrier and affect the functionality of the brain. Like marijuana and crack, MSG will affect the brain in the matter of controlling the activity of the body. Diarrhea is 1 of the symptom. This is because the MSG is entering stomach, rushing to the brain, and the brain is telling your plumbing department that it is under new management. The result is that you will have to rush to a restroom immediately!!!! some ppl do not suffer from diarrhea.. but they suffer from headache. Some people have heart related reactions or blood pressure spikes for no apparent reason. Conclusion, everything is depend on the compromise of the immunology,if a person cant tolerate with MSG and yet he or she consume high level of MSG , he or she will suffer from a few negatice sickness.

I Love to EAT!
and i realize we eat to be alive..

sometimes i wonder, why do we need food but not others?
sometimes i wonder, how actually food help us in maintaining our health?
so...let's study chemistry to learn all the mechanism that happen everyday in our body..

im a person who really interested with food...
i can do everything just for food like how i choose to study foos science..
hope i can apply whatever i have learn in this course
and provide a healthy food world for others.
the one who i love

this is my parents who give me everything i need and want

this is me n my sister who will provide me everything i need without saying another word....
