The bloodâbrain barrier is formed by brain endothelial cells, which are connected by tight junctions with an extremely high electrical resistivity of at least 0.1 Ïâm.he BBB is distinct from the quite similar bloodâcerebrospinal-fluid barrier, which is a function of the choroidal cells of the choroid plexus, and from the bloodâretinal barrier, which can be considered a part of the whole realm of such barriers. Several areas of the human brain are not on the brain side of the BBB.
Canola oil (provided that it has not been hydrogenated to increase its stability) contains very small amounts of trans fatty acids at levels too low to be a health concern. The levels of trans fat in non-hydrogenated canola oil are below 0.5 grams per serving and qualify for a label claim of trans fat free..
When hydrogenated oil is made, these healthy fats are converted into a new type of fatty acid, known as a trans fat. Trans fats are not at all good for one's health. In some highly hydrogenated oils like margarine, trans fats can make up almost half of the total fat content. fully hydrogenated fatty acid cannot have any double bonds, and hence becomes 'saturated' with hydrogen atoms. So it seems to me, that partially hydrogenated oils are the culprit. It pisses me off immensley that a label can say that it has no trans-fat, but partially hydrogenated oil is listed in the ingredients.
