Hydrogenated Oils

I've been doing some research on certain foods and what they can do our bodies. We have been on a tear for a number of years on eating what is marketed to us. Doughnuts, coffee creamers, cookies, margarine, cooking oils, ice cream, whipped toppings and on and on. Hydrogenated oils are killing our population. They are trans fats. Trans fats are foods such as oils that have had their molecular structures changed (thus the "trans"). They are abnormal foods that are very bad. In 2006 the FDA finally has made it a requirement to list the percentages of these trans fats on labels of foods containing them. I came across a good article on hydrogenated oils. Here is an excerpt:

Research studies show conclusively these deadly oils cause non-insulin dependent type II diabetes, or hyperinsulinemia. This is a disease which can eventually burn out the pancreas and cause insulin dependent diabetes. These changed molecular oils dramatically increase the risk of coronary heart disease, breast cancer, other types of cancers and auto immune diseases. Over 100 research studies show how harmful these oils are to the human body. However, these findings have been largely ignored by the mass media and the FDA. In addition, the Commercial Edible Food Industry has suppressed these research findings for sometime. Why? Money and lots of it! Food processing companies and the companies that own the patents on this process would lose billions of dollars if they had to change their method of food production of hydrogenating oils. The main reason oils are hydrogenated is that the hydrogenation of the oils act as a preservative. This leads to increased shelf life of products and less returns or spoilage of products. But at what cost is it to the human body?
The human body needs the type of essential fatty acids that mother nature has provided. Hydrogenated oils are molecularly changed oils that are toxic to the body. Soon after food production companies started using hydrogenated oils, substantial increases in several diseases occurred within a few years. In particular was a new disease which the medical profession had to name because they did not know what was causing it. It was not the normal type of diabetes but a new type. This new type of diabetes was named diabetes type II. Over the last fifty years since the introduction of hydrogenated oils, this disease has increased over 1000%. Over 90% of the foods produced today contain hydrogenated oils. On my website is a listing of contact information for food production companies, your Congressman and Senators. I urge all of my readers to write, fax, call these food companies and your elected representatives to stop the usage of hydrogenated oils in food production.

Get this stuff out of your pantry and out of your childrens mouths! Read, get educated, and don't buy it! Now I'm on a tear, to eliminate this stuff from our systems.
