My friend Adam educated me about hydrogenated oils recently. I never knew about them, and the health risks. Apparantly they help to form new radicals which causes your cells to breakdown, therefore causing cancer and other various health problems. The sad thing is, many people do not know about this huge health risk. The sadder thing is, hydrogenated oils are in nearly every kind of food you can think of (besides fresh fruits and veggies). Next time you are at the store go and read the ingredients! I was astonished at how little I knew about what I was eating.
Hydrogenated oils (aka, "trans fats") are also the cause of clogged arteries/high cholesterol. Another sad fact is that processed food is cheap, convenient and more readily available to the public than fresh
I dont understand how government can sell us chemicals to eat. How is that legal. Its sucks that when i go to the store i cant just pick something up and buy it. I gotta make sure theres no perservatives or any other chemicals.
corporations sell you chemicals not the government....and you are the one who is [size=-1]ultamitely[/size] responsable for what goes into you're body ....knowledge is power
Yea but the government should regulate that shat. Chemicals should never go near our food. All those chemicals cause cancer, and who knows what else.
Actually, transfats will be on labels (prolly the best we can hope for ) and I believe...can't remember the source...radio news? .. that transfats are being phased out in certain products. Spectrum naturals makes a veggie shortening and I LOVE Earth Balance Vegan/zero transfats spread. Newman's own cookies are transfats free.
