What are trans-fats or trans-fatty acids?

There are no trans-fats in Conuq VCO. Trans-fatty acids are formed by converting (through hydrogenation) liquid vegetable oils into shortening or margarine which are solid or semi-solid at room temperature. The hydrogenation process employs 1) high heat, 2) a metal catalyst such as nickel, zinc, copper, or other reactive metal, and 3) hydrogen gas.

The metals are used to react with the hydrogen gas, which is bubbled up through the mixture. The metals catalyze the hydrogen and carbon atoms and convert the fatty acids by flipping one of the attached hydrogen molecules and rotating it half the diameter of the carbon chain. This effectively creates a new molecular shape resulting in a stiffer or more rigid material, hence the change from a liquid to a semi solid or solid substance.

This new shape stiffens with the hydrogenation process making the oil behave more like a saturated fat (such as coconut fat which is 92% saturated and solid at room temperature). Trans-fats are the result of ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
