Hello, MatthewPurple:

Quote:

in addition, if anyone can explain the problematic nature of such "fried" foods and how they may upset the gut, please let me know.


Some fried foods are not so bad, but in general frying denatures a portion of the fry oil, which creates compounds that affect the integrity of the gut. More importantly, the denatured oil changes character from "hydrophobic" to hydrophillic or hygroscopic; in such a case, instead of excluding moisture and excluding foods in the process of digestion which will naturally carry bacteria, the oil will coat the intestinal walls and conduct the wrong food characters directly into existing lesions.

It is important, when eating much fried food, to supplement with plenty of EFAs and especially EVOliveOil, borage seed oil (GLA), and flax and fish oils. These oils are more unctuous than deleterious, and serve a useful purpose.

Glad to have You join the group,
HEALTH,
John
