Warning: Do not eat foods that contain partially
 
hydrogenated and hydrogenated fats. These fats are
 
found in all kinds of packaged and junk food. Food
 
manufacturers really don't care about your health
 
when they add hydrogenated oils to their foods.

Good clean vegetable oils are hydrogenated to create
 
shortenings and margarines. Vegetable oils are partially
 
hydrogenated so they can be added to many foods since they
 
become a source of cheap fat and increase the shelf life of
 
the food product.

What do hydrogenated oils do? When healthy oils are
 
processed through bubbling hydrogen at temperatures up to
 
210 C, un-natural fatty acids are created that are called
 
trans-fatty acids.

Your body is unable to use this un-natural fatty acids so the
 
liver see them as toxic waste and proceeds to detoxify and
 
eliminate them. Trans-fatty acids are one of the most toxic
 
wastes that can be inside your body. Trans fatty acids, also, can block your body's use of the
 
essential fatty acids.

Hydrogenated oils also have all of their nutrients removed
 
during their processing. This forces removal of vitamins and
 
minerals from your body to help digest the stripped
 
hydrogenated oil.

In his book called, Eat Fat Look Thin - A Safe and
 
Natural Way to Lose Weight Permanently, 2002,
 
Bruce Fife, N.D., talks about the dangers of hydrogenated
 
oils,

"Trans fatty acids affect more than just our
 
cardiovascular health. According to a
 
study reported by Mary Enig, Ph.D.,
 
when monkeys were fed trans fatcontaining
 
margarine in their diets,…their red blood cells did not bind insulin as well as when they were not fed trans. This suggests a link with diabetes. Trans fatty acids have been linked
 
with a variety of adverse health effects which include:
 
cancer, ischemic heart disease, multiple sclerosis
 
diverticulitis, diabetes, and other degenerative
 
conditions."

Hydrogenated oils are use by a food processor because they
 
are cheap fats, which increase the size and shelf life of their
 
product.

This is where you find hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated
 
oils,

* 40% of all foods in a grocery store

* 95% of all cookies

* 75% of chips and crackers

* 70% of all cold cereals and cake mixes

* 80% of all frozen breakfast foods

* in most microwave popcorn

* in many salted peanuts and other nuts

* in most candies

* most restaurants that fry foods including donut shops
 
shortenings

* and the list goes on and on

Buy less of these foods and give yourself better health and force the food manufacturers to use less hydrogenated oils in their food products.
