Partially Hydrogenated Oil

Definition

Hydrogenation in the process in which liquid unsaturated fats are turned into solid fat by adding hydrogen

Health Impact

Hydrogenated vegetable oils are high in omega 6 fatty acids, throwing off our bodies healthy balance of omega 3 to 6 and leading to chronic inflammation. The process of hydrogenation creates trans fats, which are directly correlated to many health disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, obesities, and allergies.
