Default Trans Fat: and Zero trans fat marketing.

There is a post about butter, and hydrogenated oil's.
So i would like to post a topic with info about Trans fat, and food that says its "Trans Fat Free" or, "Zero Grams Trans Fat"

Any food that you buy, that has hydrogenated oil in the list of Ingredients has trans fat. Yes, it is legal to have hydrogenated oil (trans fat) in your food and market that item as Trans fat free.

foods containing hydrogenated oils may be labeled trans-fat free, or list 0g trans fats on the label. First, items that list partially hydrogenated oils in the ingredients but contain less than 0.5g of trans fats are considered by the government to be trans-fat free. A good example of this would be commercial peanut butter, which contains a tiny amount of partially hydrogenated oil to prevent separation.
Any item that has hydrogenated oil's in it, really in my eye should not be consumed.
thanks for reading.

Its oil, that has been hydrogenated (adding hydrogen + high heat) meening its man made. It turns it semi solid or solid at room temp. If you have been a gallon of veg oil at room temp, its semi-clean and you can pour it. Then i am sure you have been a tub of crisco, its pure white. Its been hydrogenated.

The human body does not know how to brake down a hydrogenated oil. It ends up rejecting it and bypassing it into the blood stream. And it gets stuck all over your body and that how it can cause massive weight gain and higher blood presure, etc ...

I spent weeks in school reading about it


To make a long class real short, Mic D's used to fry their french frys in beef tallow. People starting throwing a bitch fit, so they went to ADM (same people who make biofuel) and asked them to make a cheap oil, that wont brake down as fast as pure vegi oil. So they hydrogenated it, and made oil shorting.
blah blah blah, in the end, we now have hydrogenated oils to fry the french frys in. However really is better for you to eat frys made in the beef tallow, then hydrogenated oil.

So the same people who pushed for hydrogenated oils are now trying to ban hydrogenated oils.

That's because you haven't slathered butter all over it yet.

Fiber is difficult for your body to break down, and it's good for you.
