The Effect of Hydrogenation on our Health

Hydrogenation causes the destruction of over a billion pounds of essential fatty acids annually, a loss we cannot afford.

What is hydrogenation?

Hydrogenation is an extremely harmful process that creates an immune damaging synthetic fat, a type of trans fatty acid that's been found to elevate blood cholesterol.

Stay away from "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" products such as in oils, margarines, shortenings, etc.

Most refined oils are solvent extracted at high heat with harsh chemicals then bleached and chemically treated to obtain colorless, tasteless oil with a long shelf life. The taste of rancidity has been removed but the harmful effects remain!
