Best Answer

Hydrogenated oils are made from liquid vegetable or seed oils and are created to mimic saturated fats. Saturated fats are those that are solid at room temperature. Hydrogenation, the process of polymerizing liquid fats[oils] by heating and injecting hydrogen gas into them, creates "trans-fats", or solid "plasticated" fats which we now know, (or are told), are worse for us than the saturated fats they were designed to replace. ANY fats that are solid at room temperature are either saturated fats or trans-fats.

Yes and no. Olive oil does lower risk of athersclerosis by raising the "good" cholesterol levels, so you body can care for and clean itself. But hydrogenated oils are chemically different in their basic structure. Hydrogenated oils have hydrogen molecules fused to the oils by force in massive machinery, and for some reason, this changes what the oil is from its most basic level. Traces of oils in their natural state are generally completely eliminated from the body in 18 days average, whereas it takes the body 56 days on average to process hydrogenated and partially-hydrogenated oils.
