Neil,

It seems that you quote your own studies as "proof" then say they are impossible and were some sort of test.

I do not pretend to use a gas chromograph in my daily life. I base my thinking on reputable authorities and the careful evidence they report. Such authorities do not seem to include acetic acid, vitamin C or storage temperature of food as their concerns for acrylamide or transfats. Those ideas came from you. All I can say is that you have a duty to publish your ideas if they are scientifically valid. If they are not scientifically valid or are impossible as you now assert, you will be unable to publish in a peer reviewed journal. This supports my position that such publication is a predictor of credibility.

My motive for posting was to point out that the overwhelming balance of evidence favors monounsaturated followed by polyunsaturated oils. Olive oil is a frontrunner in that league. It is possible that all the authorities are wrong and that you and the students at that Texas University have come up with a simple solution to a complex problem. If this is the case, I repeat that you need to publish in a peer-reviewed journal so that everybody gets to benefit from your discovery.

Regards
