he is kinda right.

i have also heard that heating oils too high can produce carcinogens. i
don't know if that is true or not. and anyway, the sun is a carcinogen.
the thing that you need to know about hydrognated oils and fats is that
hydrognation changes the molecular structure and our bodies don't like the
new shape and can't sucessfully use them. you don't have to worry about this
if you are using cold pressed oils. because oils can be extracted using
chemicals and alchol which i have read leave traces in the oil. just use the
good stuff and stay away from anything that you can't tell what it is and
everyone will be O.K.

this is also why i am a little leary of splenda which is altered sugar. i
haven't made up my mind on this yet. i have only heard good things about
splenda so if anyone else has heard otherwise i would like to know.
