"Trans fatty acid levels are determined by the amount of hydrogenated oils in a food. Foods such as doughnuts, french fries, margarine, most cookies, and any food that contains "partially hydrogenated oils" contain trans fats. Soybean oils, corn oils, and safflower oils contain relatively high amounts of oleic and linoleic acids, which can convert to elaidic acid during the hydrogenation process. Elaidic acid is the most common form of trans fatty acids because of its production by hydrogenation of our most common dietary oils." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"If you recall, all hydrogenated oils produce the dangerous trans fatty acids, whether they are saturated or not. 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.) "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.)

"The number one dietary prescription from this chapter is to totally eliminate all hydrogenated oils from your diet. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as it sounds. Food manufacturers have put them in almost every food they manufacture. The good news is that if enough people refuse to buy foods that contain trans-fatty acid oils, manufacturers will stop putting them in their foods. You also want to eliminate refined oils and manufactured polyunsaturated oils from your diet. What oils are good? Virtually any raw natural oil is good. Olive oil is the best." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (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.)

"Eliminate all hydrogenated oils and trans-fatty acids. Replace with olive oil and fresh butter. Cut back on the quantity of meat, pork,2 chicken, and dairy in your diet. 'For those with arthritis, it might be useful to forego vegetables from the nightshade family, including tomatoes, spinach, and eggplant. "And no, pork is not "the other white meat.'1 In fact, pork is probably one of the more indigestible meats you can eat." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "Over the 40 years of his life, however, Jim has contributed to that weakness in his heart and circulatory system because of a diet high in hydrogenated oils and refined carbohydrates, a folic acid deficiency, a low pH, and heavy free radical damage—to the point where his Personal Health Line has dipped below the Line of Symptoms.

"Now the reality: A typical American diet is heavy on fats and cholesterol from animal protein and hydrogenated oils, both of which tend to saturate bile—which is stored in the gallbladder. Over time, the excess cholesterol begins to calcify and form gallstones, which become painful when they move through the small bile ducts leading to the liver. If you've been showing signs of gallbladder disease or stones, the first step is to cut the fat from fried food and animal protein in your diet and eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"We feed our kids junk food, their bodies get clogged with toxins and hydrogenated oils, and we just keep sending little Jimmy back to school with lunch money. We need to change this cycle of ignorance and take responsibility for what we are creating. Because of this frightening state of affairs, I continue to make sure that my clients stay away from hydrogenated oils, as I include a broad range of raw fats in their diets. Fats and oils in their raw form can help to emulsify and slowly remove the hardened trans fats that are stuck to the arterial walls. But what about cooked proteins?" - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.)

"Processed foods made for the microwave are junky, filled with trans fats and sodium and hydrogenated oils, all of which are depriving our children of the nutrients they need to perform well in school. Microwaves support the unhealthy lifestyle that is making our kids so sick. Take that little bit of extra time every day; I promise it will pay off in the long run. Your whole family will benefit if you make more of an attempt to nurture your bodies and spirits." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"The number one cause of death, heart disease, has been directly linked to trans fats from hydrogenated oils.2 Chronic degenerative diseases in general are higher where diets are richer in animal products and in total fat.3 Our personal choices concerning what we eat appear to have the most influence on our long-term health prospects. We have been conditioned to eat mostly cooked foods, meat, dairy, sugar, salt, caffeine, junk foods, fried foods, processed foods, and canned foods. These may seem as if they satisfy our hunger, but they do not satisfy our nutritional needs." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (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.)

"Or that the portion sizes have swelled or that the snacks themselves consist mainly of cleverly flavored and configured arrangements of refined carbohydrates, hydrogenated oils, corn sweeteners, and salt. To counter the rise of the snack and restore the meal to its rightful place, consider as a start these few rules of thumb: © DO ALL YOUR EATING AT A TABLE. No, a desk is not a table. ODON'T GET YOUR FUEL FROM THE SAME PLACE YOUR CAR DOES." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.) "With that, the regulatory door was thrown open to all manner of faked low-fat products: Fats in things like sour cream and yogurt could now be replaced with hydrogenated oils or guar gum or carrageenan, bacon bits could be replaced with soy protein, the cream in "whipped cream" and "coffee creamer" could be replaced with corn starch, and the yolks of liquefied eggs could be replaced with, well, whatever the food scientists could dream up, because the sky was now the limit." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Trans fat, animal fat, and hydrogenated oils gum up the works, but the omega-3s found in fish are enormously beneficial. Population studies have shown that countries in which people eat a lot of fish have lower incidence of bipolar disorder. And some people use omega-3s as a stand-alone treatment for mood disorders and ADHD. One study showed that people who eat fish once a week slow the yearly rate of cognitive decline by 10 percent." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)

"E4 people must watch their diet, limiting high-saturated fats such as butter and lard and trans fats (the hydrogenated oils in processed food). Lowering blood pressure and exercising regularly are important. We recommend a total inflammatory risk profile for patients with this allele because they must make stringent lifestyle changes that support healing. Having two APO E4 alleles, along with a high mercury concentration and a deficiency in the mineral magnesium, represents a heightened risk factor combination for Alzheimer's disease." - 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.)

"HFCS might have one or two good qualities—it is cheap and makes things taste good—but that isn't enough reason to put it in our food and make us fat! 4. hydrogenated oils (Trans Fats) and Partially Hydrogenated Oils The process of hydrogenation started in the 1950s to extend packed food shelf life. Hydrogenation is the process of heating oil and passing hydrogen bubbles through it. The fatty acids in the oil then acquire some of the hydrogen, which makes it denser. If you fully hydrogenate, you create a solid (a fat) out of the oil." - Kevin Gianni and Annmarie Colameo, The Busy Person's Fitness Solution (Get the book.)

"Trans fatty acids and hydrogenated oils are harmful oils. Essential fatty acids are utilized by the body to build cell structure, to help generate electrical energy, and produce hormones. They are required for nerve impulses, brain development and function, healthy skin, digestion, inner organ function, the cardiovascular system, and immune system. They are critically important for health. Most people are oil deficient because good oils are lacking in their diets. All the essential fatty acids are obtained from a diet of real food." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Saturated fats, trans fatty acids, and hydrogenated oils. Eat These Foods Only Occasionally: • Salt, caffeine, and alcohol. You will note that the first guideline in the "eat often" list above is to include organic whole foods in your diet. Whole foods are unprocessed and free of additives and chemicals, such as artificial flavoring, hydrogenated oils, preservatives, and sweeteners." - Shari Lieberman, Alan Xenakis, Mineral Miracle: Stopping Cartilage Loss & Inflammation Naturally (Get the book.)

"Most prominent and dangerous among them are salt, MSG, aspartame, various "preservatives," com syrup, hydrogenated oils and "natural flavors." As a teacher in the public school system, I always knew it would be much harder to teach after lunch. The easiest day I ever had teaching in the public school system was when I was substituting at a Los Angeles school in which the children ate lunch one hour before going home. More usual is two or three hours. Teachers everywhere try to save the least important material for after lunch." - Susan E.

"Eating processed food can give us extra saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium, but a serious problem in processed food can also be the trans fat or hydrogenated oils. Ignore the percentage recommendations because they are overly permissive. Eating according to those can take 20 or 30 years off your life from a heart attack or a stroke. Avoid processed foods that are high in sodium, meaning they contain over 300 mg of sodium per serving. o_ | Dietary Fiber 0g 0% | Most Americans don't get Vitamin A 4% Vitamin C 2% Calcium 20% Iron 4% ............." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.)

"By that time, I realized I had made many choices which had led me away from the mainstream: no deodorant, toothpaste, vaccinations, drugs, television, hydrogenated oils, white flour, sugar, soda pop or processed, packaged foods. I was proud to be following a new path and wanted to convey the importance of being different to family and friends. In March 2002, I gave birth (gaining only 10 pounds!) to a healthy baby boy. It was an 85% raw vegan pregnancy! I gave birth at home with no problems." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "The body simply can't handle hydrogenated oils. Some symptoms of ill health that seem to come out of nowhere are actually caused by trans fat ingestion: examples are bloating, sore throat and acne. Research shows conclusively that trans fats contribute to Type II diabetes. Their ingestion also increases the risk of heart disease, cancer and autoimmune disease. Over 100 studies have been ignored by the FDA and mainstream media because of the potential economic impact on processed food industries." - Susan E.

"They are formed when oils have been "trans-formed" by hydrogenation and so are also referred to as hydrogenated oils. The hydro-genation process involves heating oils to a high temperature in the presence of a metal catalyst such as nickel or aluminum, which causes a transfer of hydrogen atoms to the oil molecule. The oil molecule becomes straight, or stiff. When hydrogenated, oils that are liquid at room temperature become solid or spreadable, like margarine. Not surprisingly, the high heat of processing destroys enzymes, vitamins, and nutrients that are present in the natural oil." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"DMany European countries have either BANNED or have set dates for ELIMINATION of hydrogenated oils in foods! Hydrogenated oils are found in almost all packaged foods. Take a look at the ingredients the next time you are at the grocery store and you will see just how prevalent these are in the foods you eat." - Kevin Gianni and Annmarie Colameo, The Busy Person's Fitness Solution (Get the book.)

"The consumption of hydrogenated oils, for instance, has been linked with the development of diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. For this reason, hydrogenated oils should never be eaten. Saturated fats, on the other hand, should be consumed as seldom as possible. What foods should be consumed only occasionally? Because salt has been linked with a variety of health problems, it is wise to add as little as possible to your foods. While caffeine-containing foods need not be eliminated, you should try to keep your total daily caffeine intake to 200 milligrams or less a day." - Shari Lieberman, Alan Xenakis, Mineral Miracle: Stopping Cartilage Loss & Inflammation Naturally (Get the book.)

"Unnatural Fats: The Number 1 Dietary Problem Food manufacturers love hydrogenated oils because hydrogenation makes those oils thicker, creamier, and more appetizing to the consumer. Unfortunately, hydrogenation also saturates the oils' fatty acids, changing them into trans-fatty acids. Trans-fatty acids are the number one killer in our diets, and a major contributor to: 'It's worth noting that 60% of America's dairy cows are infected with the leukemia virus." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)
