Mustang :)) sweet good bye


I was a proud owner of a great pony. Strong powerful with grace and a real kick.

A Mustang is a free-roaming horse of theNorth American west that first descended from horses brought to the Americas by theSpanish. Mustangs are often referred to aswild horses, but there is debate over terminology. Because they are descended from once-domesticated horses, they can be classified as feral horses.

In 1971, the United States Congressrecognized Mustangs as "living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West, which continue to contribute to the diversity of life forms within the Nation and enrich the lives of the American people."[1]Today, Mustang herds vary in the degree to which they can be traced to original Iberian horses. Some contain a greater genetic mixture of ranch stock and more recent breed releases, while others are relatively unchanged from the original Iberian stock, most strongly represented in the most isolated populations.

The idea seems very enticing since consumption of trans fats, or partially hydrogenated oils has been linked to long-term heart problems. Therefore it seems the logical alternative is to use unsaturated oils. This seems to be true for unheated margarines and salad dressings. However, when the oils are used in frying operations, another picture emerges. It seems these unsaturated oils are prone to random oxidation, producing a plethora of oxidation products. Many of these are reported to be quite toxic. In the book “Symposium on Foods: Lipids and Their Oxidation,” published way back in 1962, there is an entire chapter devoted to the toxicity of heated fats and oils. There are many examples of this toxicity. Here are two: Control rats fed a diet containing 20% corn oil thrived and were normal in very respect. Test rats fed the same die...
