#5) Of the 70,000 food chemicals approved for consumption by the FDA, hydrogenated oils contain some of the WORST ones, including constituents of gasoline

Is your blood thicker thanks to this gummy substance flowing in it that can build up arterial plaque and easily lodge in the arteries? Natural News enthusiasts are concerned for your safety and well-being.

If you read Natural News, you probably already try to avoid junk food, processed sugars, artificial sweeteners, fluoridated water and the like.

But do you avoid ALL processed oils, because canola is in most mayonnaise, and blended GM oils are in most salad dressings, and nearly every restaurant and food bar in America has tuna salad, pasta salad, egg salad, chicken salad and potato salad that's loaded with hydrogenated oils.

Hydrogenated oils are oils that are often healthy in their natural state, but are quickly turned into poisons through the manufacturing and processing they undergo.

They take these naturally healthy oils such as palm, kernel, soybean, and corn oil and they heat it anywhere from five hundred to one thousand degrees under several atmospheres of pressure.

They then inject a catalyst into the oil for several hours - typically a metal such as nickel, platinum or even aluminum. As this bubbles up into the oil, the molecular structure increases in density. This creates either partially hydrogenated or fully hydrogenated oils.

The molecules in this new product are now closer to cellulose or plastic than to oil. Eat THAT and the heart now has to work much harder to pump blood throughout the system - hence - high blood pressure!
