Just curious, what is the primitive way to alkali process corn? I
knew about pellagra, but didn't realize there was a way to avoid it
other than to limit the amount of corn in the diet.

Soak it in ashes + water, iirc.

Personally I like my fats fully stacked with hydrogen. If

you're
going to oxidize you might as well do it right.

Hmm, I hope you are joking. It is my understanding that trans

fats
may be a cause for heart diseases.

Trans fats aren't fully stacked with hydrogen. That'd be saturated

fat.

Maybe so, but read the subject of the discussion. It is on trans
fats. I will take saturated fats over trans fats any day.


Which means that you like your fats fully stacked with hydrogen.


Damn, why do people who can't read insist on using newsgroups?


Beats me.

Let's try once more. Saturated fatty acids are fully stacked with hydrogen.
Trans fatty acids are not. Ergo, one who likes his fats fully stacked with
hydrogen prefers saturated fat to trans fat. This is lipid chemistry, not
rocket science.

I see your point. I eat lots of apples but they have no

protein.

Regarding being "all natural", so are nightshade mushrooms and

snake
venom and lots of other things that can hurt you.

The appeal to "all natural" is the biggest bunch of bunk in the
modern
era.

While I agree with you that the term "all natural" is often a
marketing ploy, there are so many examples that show that

processed
food is bad your you. Example,

1. Refined flour gets digested too quickly.
2. Sugar is bad for your teeth.
3. Trans Fats may cause cardiovascular diseases.

Some of these examples are only known recently. So, a prudent
strategy would be to be very cautious about processed food. It

is all
about risk management. I am placing my bets on foods that have

not
undergone major industrial processes.

Sy

OTOH, sometimes foods are improved to varying degrees by some

level
of processing (and indeed some "foods" are inedible or even toxic

in
their natural state). If you don't believe me, try eating an olive
straight from the tree.

Point well taken. I will also try not to lick any colorful toad I
come across. I will not invest in junk bonds and I promise not to

run
any red lights. Also, I won't take any of those high tech fats
substitutes either. It is simple risk management. I don't do things
that I believe have an elevated chance of hurting me. Some people
bungle jump, I don't. People have different levels risk tolerance.
George Burns lived over 100 smoking cigars and he seemed reasonably
happy, but that does not mean I am going to start smoking.

My attitude towards highly processed food is similar to strangers
hanging outside my door late at night. I tend to be cautious about
them.


Acorns were a staple of the Native American diet, but they have to be
processed, as well. Water soaking is needed to leach out the tannins
before grinding into flour.

And, by the way, I agree with the person I was responding to. I was
just pointing out that taken to its logical extreme it doesn't really
work either (those who really do take it to that absurd extreme are raw
food cultists).
