The "Simple Fats" Hiding Trans Fats and Industrial Processing What sounds like basic, harmless fats in your bread and ice cream are actually industrial emulsifiers that can contain hidden trans fats outside of labeling requirements. "Mono- and diglycerides" aren't natural food ingredients, they're chemically processed fat derivatives created through industrial reactions that can deliver the same artery-clogging trans fats that were supposedly banned, all while flying under the regulatory radar. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 "𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝘀" Mono- and diglycerides (listed as mono- and diglycerides, monoglycerides, diglycerides, or E471) are lurking in products throughout your kitchen: • Bread, rolls, buns, and bagels • Ice cream and frozen desserts • Margarine and butter spreads • Peanut butter and nut spreads • Baked goods and pastries • Coffee creamers and whipped toppings • Cake mixes and frostings • Protein bars and meal replacements • Chewing gum and candy • Processed meats and sausages • Salad dressings and mayonnaise • Shortening and cooking sprays 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 "𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗼- & 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗹𝘆𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀" 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗔𝗿𝗲 Mono- and diglycerides are synthetic emulsifiers created through industrial chemical processing of fats and oils. The manufacturing process: • Start with vegetable oils (often GMO soy, corn, or cottonseed) • Glycerolysis - reacting fats with glycerin at high temperatures (200-250°C) • Chemical catalysts - using alkaline catalysts like sodium hydroxide • Molecular rearrangement - breaking down triglycerides into mono- and diglycerides • Distillation and purification - separating desired products • Potential hydrogenation - creating trans fat configurations The hidden trans fat problem: • During processing, some fatty acids convert to trans configurations • Products can contain up to 2% trans fats without disclosure • "0g trans fat" labels are legal if trans fat is below 0.5g per serving • Multiple servings = significant trans fat intake • No requirement to test or disclose trans fat content in mono- and diglycerides

I have been thinking of getting a mini-trampoline to start Rebounding. This gentle bouncing on a mini-trampoline, is low-impact, joyful movement that uses gravity to benefit every cell. NASA research in the 1980s showed its unique efficiency; modern studies continue to confirm the perks. Core Holistic Benefits: • Lymphatic detox — Pumps lymph 15x better than jogging, flushing toxins, reducing inflammation, boosting immunity & skin clarity. • Cardio & energy — 10 min ≈ 30 min jogging; improves heart/lung function, oxygen use, mitochondrial energy, and stamina without fatigue. • Bone & joint strength — Builds bone density (hips/spine), prevents osteoporosis, strengthens muscles/core with minimal joint stress. • Balance & coordination — Enhances proprioception, reduces fall risk, improves stability & mobility. • Stress & mood lift — Releases endorphins, lowers cortisol, promotes calm, focus, better sleep, and emotional resilience. • Whole-body support — Aids digestion, pelvic floor, blood sugar, flexibility, and overall vitality. How to start: 5–15 min daily of light bounces or marches. Foldable rebounders fit small spaces perfectly. It's sustainable self-care: fun, gentle, and deeply nourishing. Have you tried it, or thinking of adding it to your routine?
