 How avoiding hydrogenated oils will dramatically improve your brain function: memory, creativity, clarity of thought and much more!
Why eating vegetable shortening or popular margarine products is the same as committing slow suicide.
Hydrogenated oils and the diabetes link: just a 2% increase in trans fats calories boosts your risk of diabetes by 39%.
... plus, we include dozens of citations from respected doctors and authors who speak on hydrogenated oils. You'll read some of the most eye-opening quotes ever printed about this deadly ingredient. |
| Inside, you'll learn:
The disturbing truth of how hydrogenated oils cause cancer, birth defects, heart disease, diabetes, liver disease and much more.
The inside story of corruption, and how Big Business has conspired with our government to keep this deadly ingredient 100% legal to use in the human food supply.
How hydrogenated oils alter the structure and flexibility of cell membranes throughout your body, causing cell-by-cell disintegration of your health. |
| What ingredient am I talking about? hydrogenated oils, of course. For decades, food companies (and even our own government regulators) have lied to use about hydrogenated oils, telling us this disease-causing substance was not merely safe, but actually better for your health than other sources of fat like butter. But today, we know this was nothing more than a global deception, a hijacking of science by the food manufacturers in a blatant attempt to get people to buy their high-profit products like margarine, shortening and snack crackers. |

 Allowing hydrogenated oils to remain legal is a direct violation of the FDA's stated directives, which include protecting the public from food, drug and cosmetic manufacturers who may use dangerous or toxic ingredients in their products. The FDA has utterly failed to protect the public from toxic ingredients and continues to demonstrate its own failure with each and every decision that places corporate profits ahead of consumer safety. |
| There is a fundamental responsibility by food companies to produce foods that do not contain poisonous ingredients, and hydrogenated oils are essentially slow-acting poisons that directly threaten human health.
Companies that put poison into their food bear full responsibility for the health results that emerge as a result of the widespread consumption of those poisons. Federal regulators, whose job it is to police these industries, are criminally negligent in allowing the ongoing use of toxic ingredients in consumer products of all kinds. |

 I just choose a soft gel container with hydrogenated oils as the toxic filler ingredients because I, as an evil researcher, know that these journalists are not going to ask questions. No one's going to look at this study and see what the other filler ingredients were. No one's going to do anything other than reprint whatever I fax them. Why? Because I'm associated with a medical school or a university, that's why. That's how it works out there. That's the real world of nutritional supplements "research. |

| You will discover an impressive collection of disease-promoting chemicals and substances listed right on the label: hydrogenated oils, sodium nitrite, monosodium glutamate, sugar, artificial chemical sweeteners, artificial colors, homogenized fats and many more. It's like walking into a chemical factory... but it's triple coupon day! |
| For decades, food manufacturers have known about the dangers to the health of consumers caused by hydrogenated oils, and yet, until recently, food manufacturers were able to claim innocence by saying that their ingredient was not really proven to be dangerous, or that it is perfectly legal to use. |

| No wonder you feel worse; you're just eating hydrogenated oils. You're actually taking them as a supplement. What a foolish thing to do, but people do it every single day in this country.
Lawmakers deserve a lot of blame and shame for allowing this to go on, in my view. The fact that food manufacturers and vitamin supplement manufacturers can put highly toxic, death-promoting, disease-causing ingredients into your foods, products and supplements and sell them to you without warning labels is absolutely unconscionable. It's near criminal that they allow this to happen. |
| It could be soybean oil, hydrogenated oils or some other form of filler. It could be something that's actually dangerous to your health, so you'd better read the ingredients labels on those vitamins, minerals and supplements, in addition to reading the ingredients labels on foods, as I've always recommended. Watch out! Just because you buy something that looks good on the label – something that claims to have flax oil, salmon oil or vitamin B in it – it doesn't mean it's actually good for you. |
| Point it out to them; show them the hydrogenated oils in these vitamins. Point out the sucrose, the corn syrup, propylene glycol or whatever else happens to be in there. Show them what they're really consuming and then give them a better choice. Introduce them to a health food store in your local community that sells some quality products. Encourage them to go there if they really want to take care of their health.
It's funny that people complain about how much money it costs to buy nutritional supplements. |
| Today, anyone who follows nutrition knows that hydrogenated oils are extremely toxic. We know that, long-term, they will lead to cardiovascular disease and heart attacks. They can even encourage strokes. We know that they cause harm, sometimes irreparable, to the nervous system. We know that they interfere with the absorption of the essential fatty acids you need to maintain healthy cells, a healthy nervous system, healthy blood sugar regulation and many other functions. |
| The rest of that store was just outright garbage – products loaded with sugars and artificial colors, hydrogenated oils, high sodium, tons of preservatives (literally, tons of preservatives), sodium nitrate – just all kinds of unhealthy ingredients from top to bottom, stacked as high and as far as the eye can see in this warehouse retailer.
Spread the word: Your neighbors' vitamins could be toxic
I believe we each have to do our part and stand up and speak the truth. That's what I'm trying to do here. I'm telling everyone I meet and everyone I know, "You've been conned. |

| Better yet, hydrogenated oils should just be banned like the World Health Organization advised in 1978. It should never be allowed in the food supply, and companies that use the ingredient should have their inventory confiscated by the Food and Drug Administration, which occasionally confiscates so-called "dangerous herbs" when they post a threat to public safety, but never confiscates dangerous foods due to their hydrogenated oil content. |

 Hydrogenated oils have been strongly linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other serious health problems.36 hydrogenated oils and trans fats can be found in products such as, margarine, shortening and lard, processed vegetable oils, processed cheese, processed peanut butter, french fries, candies, and cookies.
Supermarket Oils
Most supermarket oils are made from seeds that have been subjected to many destructive processes to produce products that can stay on shelves for long periods of time without spoiling. |

 It's much cheaper to use hydrogenated oils and artificial colors such as yellow #5 and blue #1 to give it the appearance and color of avocado. Gullible American consumers actually buy the product and consume it in large enough quantities to keep it on the shelf, thereby proving that food companies can put practically anything they want in a plastic tub and most people will not just buy it, but actually put it in their mouths! (Didn't their parents ever teach them not to put garbage in their mouth? |

 Refused to ban a poisonous artificial fat from the food supply (hydrogenated oils) for decades, even though the World Health Organization urged member nations to outlaw the substance in 1978. hydrogenated oils continue to harm infants, children, and adults today.
It is clearly time to reform not merely the FDA, but the entire medical industry. Drug companies are running amok, and this new Consumer Reports survey reveals that consumers are finally fed up with it.

 Margarines are made with hydrogenated oils as well. Unless they say, "no hydrogenated oils" right on the label, they contain it. Vegetable shortening, by the way, is pure hydrogenated oil. It is probably one of the single most toxic grocery products you can put in your body. And yet people are out there buying vegetable shortening by the bucket loads and baking cookies with it -- something I find absolutely appalling.
By far, the most powerful thing you can do to restore healthy cholesterol levels is to stop eating hydrogenated oils. |

 While some lipids are necessary for storing energy, others include a class of harmful trans-fatty acids found in hydrogenated oils and partially hydrogenated oils common not only in fast food but also in many products found on grocery store shelves -- including dairy products and meat. This year major cities in the U.S. are taking steps to ban trans-fats in food served in restaurants. |

 Just a few years ago, most consumers had never heard of trans fats or the dangers of hydrogenated oils, for example. But once that issue went mainstream, fast food restaurants all over the country announced changes to avoid hydrogenated oils.
I believe that sodium nitrite in processed meats is the next big food safety issue that's about to break into mainstream awareness. More and more consumers are suddenly aware that hot dogs promote cancer, or that bacon consumption is incredibly bad for your health. |

 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. |

 And it's put in foods on purpose, for the convenience of the food manufacturers. hydrogenated oils don't go bad, which means they save money for the food manufacturing companies, because their foods don't go bad on the shelves. And how do you make hydrogenated oils? Well, you don't find them anywhere in nature -- you have to have a chemical processing facility to make hydrogenated oils. And you do it by bubbling hydrogen gas through liquid soybean oil or other types of oils, using a catalyst (in most cases the catalyst is nickel). |

 A heart association recommends foods that damage your heart
A solid understanding of nutrition is so rare today that even a well-known heart association continues to endorse processed food products that contain hydrogenated oils. Think about this for a minute: these are foods that contain trans fatty acids, and a heart association is still telling people it's fine to eat these foods. Trans fats are poison to the cardiovascular system and the heart. Why would any health association advise anyone to eat foods containing trans fatty acids? |

 Even creating pro-consumer safety standards such as banning aspartame, sodium nitrite or hydrogenated oils can be deemed a violation of international trade agreements. Product sales, you see, are the No. 1 priority, even when nations are being decimated by the products manufactured and exported by American companies.
Poor nations with undereducated populations suffer enormously under western economic imperialism. |
