Why Hydrogenated Oils Are Harmful
Overview
Hydrogenated oils are common additives in many packaged foods, but their impact on health is concerning. This guide will help you understand why these oils are problematic and identify the foods that contain them.What Are Hydrogenated Oils?
Hydrogenated oils are created when manufacturers process vegetable oils with hydrogen at high temperatures. This process produces trans-fatty acids, which are unnatural and harmful to your body.Why Are They Harmful?
1. Toxic to the Body: Your liver cannot process trans-fatty acids effectively, so they are treated as toxic waste. These acids can also disrupt the body's ability to use essential fatty acids.2. Nutrient Deprivation: During hydrogenation, oils lose their nutritional value. Consuming foods with these oils forces your body to use its own vitamins and minerals to process them, further depleting your nutrient reserves.
3. Health Risks: According to Bruce Fife, N.D., in "Eat Fat Look Thin" (2002), trans fats have been linked to serious health issues such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and other degenerative conditions.
