What is the source of your information? THE INGREDIENT LABEL. "Hydrogenated" and "Partially hydrogenated" = transfats. Wrong! It is only the PARTIALLY hydrogenated oils that are transfats. FULLY hydrogenated oils contain NO transfats. The ingredient label lists NO *PARTIALLY* hydrogenated oils. From http://www.cspinet.org/new/pdf/trans_q_a.pdf "Q. Are fully hydrogenated oils even worse than partially hydrogenated oils? A. No. Surprisingly, fully hydrogenated oils appear to be innocuous. In the case of fully hydrogenated soybean oil, the hydrogenation process increases the amount of saturated fat, but most of that fat is stearic acid. Stearic acid does not raise "bad" (LDL) cholesterol levels, because the body converts it quickly to monounsaturated oleic acid (the characteristic fatty acid in olive oil)." |
