  1. My wife has been having stomach problems for months now.
    She claims that when she eats supper at 7:00-7:30. By 9:00-9:30, she
    has to run to the bathroom and she swears that she just "pooped" out
    the meal that she just ate. Is that even possible and what could the
    problem be?
    We ate Chicken and vegetables tonight? and the vegetables came out.
    Sorry for being so descriptive.

  2. I had a similar problem when I ate food like falafel, cooked with a lot
    of unsaturated oil, such as corn or "vegetable." The gut gets
    irritated from so much oxidative stress that it just eliminates
    everything quickly, which is actually good. Now I cook with butter or
    coconut oil at low temperatures (no meat, just things like cheese or
    yogurt). With meat, you can boil it, then warm up the other stuff
    (like sauce) and then mix them together. Here is a study that I just
    read a few minutes ago that points out how bad these oils can be:

    Food Fried In Vegetable Oil May Contain Toxic Compound

    MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL -- University of Minnesota researchers A. Saari
    Csallany, a professor of food chemistry and nutritional biochemistry,
    and graduate student Christine Seppanen have shown that when highly
    unsaturated vegetable oils are heated at frying temperature (365 F) for
    extended periods--or even for half an hour--a highly toxic compound,
    HNE (4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal) forms in the oil.

    Previously, vegetable oils such as soybean, sunflower and corn were
    regarded as heart-healthy because of their high levels of linoleic
    acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid. HNE is incorporated into fried food
    in the same concentration as it forms in the heated oil. Also, Csallany
    and her colleagues have found three toxic HNE-related compounds (known
    as HHE, HOE and HDE) in heated soybean oil. They will present their
    work at a poster session from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, May 4, at the
    96th annual meeting of the American Oil Chemists Society in the Salt
    Lake City Convention Center.

    "HNE is a well known, highly toxic compound that is easily absorbed
    from the diet," said Csallany. "The toxicity arises because the
    compound is highly reactive with proteins, nucleic acids--DNA and
    RNA--and other biomolecules. HNE is formed from the oxidation of
    linoleic acid, and reports have related it to several diseases,
    including atherosclerosis, stroke, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's,
    Huntington's and liver diseases."

    Csallany's work underscores the risk of repeated heating, or reusing,
    highly unsaturated oils for frying because HNE accumulates with each
    heating cycle. In future studies, Csallany and her colleagues plan to
    determine how long polyunsaturated oil must be heated at lower
    temperatures in order to form HNE and its related compounds. The study
    was funded by the University of Minnesota.

    I think your wife needs to talk with her doctor. The fastest food that you
    eat should be pooped out should be about 4 or 5 hours. And, then only in a
    normally formed stool. Pooping out what she ate 2 hours later indicates and
    infection or problem with absorbing the food she ate. She should talk with
    her doctor.

    Where exactly did you read "we fried chicken in oil high in polyunsaturated
    fatty acids for prolonged times" there?

    2) please point me to a study where it says that oil rich in polyunsaturated
    fatty acids leads to these described effects.

    3) please point me to a study where it says that the described problem is a
    typical effect of high oxidative stress.

    this one is totally off topic. The person in question does not have

    1) described symptoms are caused by too much polyunsaturated fatty


    acid

    ingestion
    2) oxidative stress caused described symptoms.

    Exactly. It's the classic misunderstanding of cause and effect. All
    that abstract says is that cancer cells have less antioxidant
    protection and (as a result) more free radical damage, than healthy
    colon cells. Just because lipid peroxidation is in the title doesn't
    mean it caused the cancer.
