"I know that hydrogenated fats aren't good for me, so I try to avoid products that have hydrogenated Labels must list hy- fats listed on the ingredients label. But now I'm won- drogenated fat. dering: If the label doesn't list hydrogenated fats, does that mean all fats in the product are unhydrogenated? A. Yes. According to the FDA, if a label doesn't list hydrogenated fats and the label complies with FDA regulations, then there are no hydrogenated fats in the product. Conversely, if a fat has been completely or partially hydrogenated, then this must be stated on the label." - Prevention Magazine Editors, The Complete Book of Vitamins & Minerals for Health (Get the book.)

"Hydrogenated coconut oil • hydrogenated soybean ?Hydrogenated vegetable oil • hydrogenated cottonseed oil shortening. Food manufacturers started putting them in products because they allow for a longer shelf life, reduced cost, and improved flavor and texture. Crackers, for example, can stay on the shelf and remain crispy for years, in part, because of the hydrogenated fats in them (a typical French fry has about 40% trans fatty acids)." - Jan Lovejoy, Get Balanced-the Natural Way to Better Health with Superfoods (Get the book.)

"If you see any of the following words or phrases on a label— glycerin, hydrogenated, partially hydrogenated, mono or diglycer-ides—avoid the product. These are all sneaky forms of fat. Snackwell's devil's food "fat-free" cookies list o grams of fat on the nutritional chart required on all packages. But if you read the ingredients, you notice that glycerin is listed fifth among them. Similarly, Kraft's zesty Italian fat-free dressing and Wishbone's fat-free ranch both list soybean oil and dairy products among their ingredients." - Caldwell B.

"Nutrition experts at Harvard make the connection quite clear: "By our most conservative estimate, replacement of partially hydrogenated fat in the U.S. diet with natural unhydrogenated vegetable oils would prevent approximately 30,000 premature coronary deaths per year, and epidemiologic evidence suggests this number is closer to 100,000." These fats also show up in many fried foods, because the high heat involved in frying leads to the partial decomposition of fat and the formation of toxic by-products. The high heat can even damage stable saturated fats such as lard and butter." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Use nonhydrogenated fats, such as butter, olive oil, sunflower oil, or sesame oil, rather than hydrogenated fats, such as margarine or shortening. Margarine is doubly dangerous to your body because it is a hydrogenated fat. The unnatural molecules it contains raise your blood cholesterol, even though margarine itself contains less cholesterol than butter. hydrogenated fats also tend to deposit fats in your arteries, interfering with the circulation of your blood. Finally, hydrogenated fats increase your body's exposure to free radicals." - Ronald Klatz and Robert Goldman, Stopping the Clock: Longevity for the New Millenium (Get the book.)

"Look in your fridge and cupboard and throw out all or most of the products that have the following ingredients in them: Partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated fats and oils, found in margarine, shortening, and virtually all baked goods such as brand-name crackers and cookies. These oils contain trans—fatty acids and are well known to contribute to poor cardiovascular health and heart disease, not to mention nervous system disorders.

"When polyunsaturated fats are removed from their natural foods, they need to be refined, deodorized, and even hydrogenated, depending on the food product for which they are 17 See more details in Andreas Moritz's book, Heal Yourself with Sunlight or Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation. used. During this process some of the polyunsaturated fats undergo chemical transformations, which turn them into trans fatty acids (trans fats), often referred to as "hydrogenated vegetable oils." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Therefore, these fats are often referred to as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated. In the past few decades, many food manufacturers have added trans fats into processed foods to prolong their shelf life. Trans fats are commonly found in processed foods including commercially baked goods, icing, margarine, "snack" foods (potato chips, cookies, crackers, microwave popcorn), and fried foods like french fries and fried chicken. Unfortunately, many people have dreadfully mistaken beliefs about hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils." - Pat Sullivan, Wellness Piece by Piece: How a Successful Entrepreneur Discovered the Pieces to His Chronic Health Puzzle (Get the book.)

"During this process some of the polyunsaturated fats undergo chemical transformations, which turn them into trans fatty acids (trans fats), often referred to as "hydrogenated vegetable oils." Margarine may be composed of up to 54 percent trans fatty acids while a typical vegetable shortening can be 58 percent trans fats. You can detect hydrogenated vegetable oils in foods by reading the labels." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"It would be far simpler—and clearer—to advise people to avoid animal-based products (the source of all cholesterol and most saturated fat) and also to avoid products labeled "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated," since these contain the most harmful trans fats. 4. USDA recommendation: "Keep total fat intake between 20 to 35 percent of calories, with most fats coming from sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat, such as fish, nuts, and vegetable oils." This recommendation is of major concern." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"This is because hydrogenated oils are made by heating vegetable oils in tine presence of metal catalysts and hydrogen, and whether they are hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated simply refers to the amount of hydrogen used in the process. Whether an oil is healthy or unhealthy depends not only on the source, but also how it was extracted and processed, which is especially true regarding coconut oil. Extra virgin coconut oil is an excellent choice. In 1947, B. A." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)

"Foods such as margarine, cakes, cookies, candies, and doughnuts often contain partially or totally hydrogenated oils. This is also true of many oils sold in supermarkets; in order to prolong their shelf life, hydrogenated fats are used in many so-called cooking oils. Another important fat classification, and one that's come under a good bit of scrutiny lately for being especially unhealthy, is trans fats. Trans fats are made during the process of hydrogenating oils by chemically modifying a natural oil in a process that converts some of the cis unsaturated fatty acids to the trans form." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"The biggest troublemakers are man-made partially hydrogenated fats. They start life as polyunsaturated vegetable oils, usually corn and canola. Food processors bubble hydrogen through them and turn them into solid fats such as margarine and shortening. The objective: a stable fat with a long shelf life—great for manufacturers but not for us. Remember the cookies your grandmother made? They were stale after three days. Today's cookies live practically forever, soft and chewy, because of partially hydrogenated oils." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"You can recognize trans fats by checking the labels of foods for "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" fats. You'll find these in many commercially prepared foods such as chips, crackers, cakes, doughnuts, pastries, peanut butter, frozen meals, and margarines and shortenings. You'll also find trans fats in cake, pancake, biscuit and muffin mixes, as well as dips, toppings, nondairy coffee creamers, gravy mixes, and even salad dressings." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"Snub hydrogenated oils, partially hydrogenated oils, and trans fatty acids, such as those in margarine. If a food includes a partially or fully hydrogenated oil in its label, try to find a substitute. • Drink plenty of water, but filter it or use natural spring water. Unfiltered tap water is often contaminated with chemicals and bacteria. • Eat meat sparingly. To start cutting back, eat smaller portions of beef, poultry, and pork. • Limit alcohol to small amounts, and don't drink often. • Don't drink diet soda and soft drinks." - The Editors of FC&A, Unleash the Inner Healing Power of Foods (Get the book.)

"Bad fats are human-made fats, normally found in vegetable shortenings, margarines, "partially hydrogenated" oils, cookies, crackers, chips, and other ready-to-eat or processed foods. hydrogenated oils and partially hydrogenated oils are made by heating vegetable oils in the presence of metal catalysts and hydrogen, which produces trans-fatty acids that are actually incorporated into the cell membranes, making them extremely hard and rigid." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)

"But trans fats, also known as hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated, are the ones to stay away from. These man-made fats are extremely unhealthy in so many ways. Trans Fats. Trans fatty acids are produced when vegetable oils are heated under pressure with hydrogen and a catalyst, in a process called hydrogenation. Therefore, these fats are often referred to as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated.
