Beyond Meat | Silent Killer or Safe Alternative | Plant-based Meat (Nutrition Review)
Canola Oil:
Canola oil is commonly used in Beyond Meat, and are unstable, easily go rancid and undergo what's called oxidation - they react with oxygen in the air to form aldehydes and lipid peroxides. Canola oil is derived from rapeseed, which is made by heating and then crushing the seed to extract the oil. It’s then washed in hexane to extract the last of the oil - hexane is a neurotoxin. It’s then cooled and bleached in order to remove the color.
Omega 3’s vs Omega 6’s:
One tablespoon of canola oil contains 2,610 mg of omega-6 fatty acids and 1,279 mg omega-3 fatty acids. Additionally, the omega 3’s in canola oil are from ALA.
Soy Protein:
Phytoestrogens- Phytoestrogens, which are structurally similar to estrogen and can interact with its receptors in the body - they mimic real estrogen in your body. Soy products contain high amounts of phytoestrogens known as isoflavones. The different types of isoflavones include genistein, daidzein, and glycitein - these have been shown to activate estrogen receptors while simultaneously down regulate androgen receptor activity. Soy is also highly "goitrogenic," meaning that is disrupts the production of thyroid hormones - suppressed thyroid activity is the leading cause of low testosterone in men today.
Because they are structurally similar to estrogen they can interact with its receptors in the body - they mimic real estrogen in your body.
