EPA: Federal Register: Oil Pollution Prevention; Non-Transportation Related Onshore Facilities Vegetable oils and animal fats can be oxidized to form hydroperoxides and free radicals which perpetuate the oxidation reaction until they are destroyed by reacting with other chemicals, such as natural or added antioxidants. Vegetable oils and animal fats that are solid at room temperature still serve as potent physical contaminants and are much more difficult to remove from affected animals than petroleum oil (Frink, 1994). Although most vegetable oils and animal fats do not easily catch fire by themselves, once fires begin they are difficult to extinguish and may cause considerable environmental damage. www.epa.gov /fedrgstr/EPA-WATER/1997/October/Day-20/w27261.htm

Vegetable oil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Like all fats, vegetable oils are esters of glycerin and a varying blend of fatty acids, and are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Vegetable oils are increasingly being used in the electrical industry as insulators as vegetable oils are non-toxic to the environment, biodegradable if spilled and have high flash and fire points. Vegetable oils are used as cooking oils and for industrial uses. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vegetable_oil   (1590 words)

Omegacin provides essential fatty acids and essential lipids to rebuild your cell membrane But even though more, supposedly healthy, vegetable fats are now being consumed, 40% of these are hydrogenated (and become saturated), and many naturally contain high levels of saturated fats as well, both of which change the all important P/S ratio (polyunsaturated to saturated fat) for the worse. Plants yield both saturated and unsaturated fats, and although most have a greater proportion of polyunsaturated fats, there are some which contain a majority of saturated fats, such as palm and coconut oils. Animal fats, too, contain both saturated and unsaturated kinds, and although these generally contain more saturated fats, there are some which contain higher levels of polyunsaturated fats such as cod liver oil. www.souzaoenterprises.com /Omegacin.html   (1590 words)

MeatFreeZone - Myths about Vegetarianism - MYTH: Vegetable Oils are Healthful - The Meat Free Zone (MFZ) campaign is intended to make the MeatFreeZone logo as recognizable a symbol as the "Smoke Free Zone" What's worse, the unsaturated fats in such highly touted vegetable oils as corn oil, safflower oil, and olive oil, and the margarines made from them, are the fats that most promote the growth of cancer. McDougall goes on to explain that fatty foods (including vegetable oils and tofu) kill your energy level by making your blood cells stick together in clumps, can make the skin and hair oily, and are extremely fattening. "Sadly, the myth that vegetable oil is health food isn't true choosing between dropping some butter or pouring some olive oil into your frying pan is, nutritionally speaking, like choosing whether you want to be shot or hanged. www.all-creatures.org /mfz/myths-vegoils.html   (1742 words)

McDougall Wellness Center Vegetable fats have been recommended for better health since the mid-1960s when we were asked to replace butter with margarine, and lard with corn and safflower oil in order to lower our cholesterol and reduce our risk of dying of heart disease. Vegetable fats, including olive oil and EFA are as easily stored as fat from cows, pigs, and chickens. By the mid-1970s researchers had discovered margarine raises cholesterol even more than butter, and even though vegetable oils might reduce our risk of heart disease they would greatly increase our risk of cancer, and make us fat. www.drmcdougall.com /vegetable_fat.html   (1742 words)

Non-Petroluem Oils While animal fats and vegetable oils may be just as damaging, or more so, as other oils when discharged into the environment, we reclassified animal fat and vegetable oil facilities from significant and substantial harm to substantial harm, taking into account this history of small volume spills. We have found that animal fats and vegetable oils have many properties similar to petroleum oils and produce many of the same environmental effects when discharged into the environment. Animal fat and vegetable oil facilities that are upgraded to significant and substantial harm must comply with all of 33 CFR part 154.1035. www.uscg.mil /vrp/reg/nonpetroleum.shtml   (1742 words)

Make your own biodiesel: Journey to Forever Refined fats and oils have a Free Fatty Acid (FFA) content of less than 0.1%. Water in vegetable oil can exist as free water, which will eventually settle to the bottom of a vessel; as suspended droplets, which may settle if the oil is heated, or the droplets are coalesced; and as water in solution with other impurities in the oil. Still, for every gallon of vegetable oil you use, that's one gallon of fossil-fuel saved, and that much less climate-changing carbon in the atmosphere. journeytoforever.org /biodiesel_make.html   (8375 words)

Trans Fatty Acids and Coronary Heart Disease, Department of Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health Trans unsaturated fatty acids, or trans fats, are solid fats produced artificially by heating liquid vegetable oils in the presence of metal catalysts and hydrogen. Trans fats are produced commercially in large quantities to harden vegetable oils into shortening and margarine. By our most conservative estimate, replacement of partially hydrogenated fat in the U.S. diet with natural unhydrogenated vegetable oils would prevent approximately 30,000 premature coronary deaths per year, and epidemiologic evidence suggests this number is closer to 100,0000 premature deaths annually. www.hsph.harvard.edu /reviews/transfats.html   (4740 words)

Trans fat: Just the facts... Trans fat from partially hydrogenated vegetable oils has displaced natural solid fats and liquid oils in many areas. In the 1950s advocates said that the trans fats of margarine were healthier than the saturated fat (additional info and facts about saturated fat) s of butter. Though a negligible amount of trans fats are found naturally (in mostly animal foods and early clinical research shows an important role of these naturally occurring trans fatty acids in the immune system), the vast majority are formed during the manufacture of processed foods (see below for details). www.absoluteastronomy.com /encyclopedia/t/tr/trans_fat.htm   (1642 words)
