Hydrogenated oils are artificially processed oils that never appear in nature. They are created by food producers for the convenience of food producers- primarily to add shelf life and consistency to foods so that those foods not only taste great, but can sit on the shelf for months at a time without going bad.
Food manufacturers are getting around the trans fat labeling by mixing small amounts of fully hydrogenated oil with liquid polyunsaturated oils and calling it "interesterified oil." Since there is less trans fat, they can sell this product to food manufacturers for use in commercial dressings, baked goods, candies and anything else that used to have partially hydrogenated oil in the ingredient list. This is the manufacturers solution to the trans fat problem and labeling requirements. Also beware of mono-diglycerides, they are nothing more than hydrogenated oils.

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, birth defects, breast cancer, and other types of cancers and auto immune diseases. There are studies that show there is a 40% increase in breast cancer in women eating hydrogenated oils.
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.
