Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["John D'hondt" <dhondt@eircom.net>]

Pity this medium does not allow drawings Paul. Cis configurations in 
unsaturated oils turn into trans configurations by heating in the production 
process of the oil. Hydrogenation of the oil afterwards, to make margarine, 
does not produce transfats but since it's only partial hydrogenation of the 
oil that was denaturated by heating a lot of trans bonds remain. If it were 
complete hydrogenation of all the original double bonds the margarine would 
need hammer and chisel to get it out of the tub. It would have no transfats 
but it would still be unhealthy but now for reason that long chain fatty 
acids are not easily absorbed, lead to anal leakage and clog up blood 
vessels when they are absorbed.
Cold pressed virgin oils should have no transfats but they would go rancid 
on the shelf fast and have an odor and taste that the public is not used to.
