Acrylamide is a suspected carcinogen that forms in foods with reducing sugar that is processed at a high temperature, such as cookies or tortilla chips. Many food manufacturers have already taken significant steps to reduce acrylamide levels in their products, but recent regulatory changes and increasing public awareness about acrylamide is prompting even further action. (foodingredientsfirst.com) Low levels of acrylamide have been detected in PBfit products, but not on a significant level that would cause harm or health concerns for consumers. The state of California requires acrylamide warning labels for any product that detects acrylamide at a .0001 percentage.
Inflammation is the body’s response to outside threats like stress, infection, or toxic chemicals. If the immune system senses a potential danger, it activates certain proteins that are designed to protect the body’s tissues and cells. But when immune cells overreact or overproduce, inflammation can be dangerous.
Hydrogenated, partially hydrogenated, or trans fats are the types of fats you should try your best to avoid. The World Health Organization has recommended that trans fats should constitute no more than 1% of a person’s diet.
Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are found in higher proportions in plants, nuts, seafood and are usually liquid at room temperature. The exceptions are certain tropical plant oils, such as coconut oil, palm oil, and palm kernel oil (which are high in saturated fat) and partially hydrogenated oils (which contain trans fat). (fda.gov) Like all dietary fats, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats specifically help the body absorb certain vitamins, cushion and insulate the body, and support many body processes. • Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats contribute vitamin E to the diet. • Polyunsaturated fat is a source of two essential fats. These fats are considered essential because they are required for normal body functioning, but they can’t be made by the body and must be obtained from food. Essential fats play a role in many body processes, including immune and nervous system function, blood clotting, and blood pressure regulation. https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/InteractiveNutritionFactsLabel/factsheets/Monounsaturated_and_Polyunsaturated_Fat.pdf
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye. If you have celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity, cutting gluten out of your diet is critical, as it can damage your intestines and trigger other health issues. But experts agree that eliminating gluten isn’t necessary for most people on a typical western diet.
