When hydrogenated oils were introduced into foods into the 1960's it was so manufactured foods would have a longer shelf-life. The thought was that if you replaced the animal fats in cookies, etc. with vegetable fats it would be better. However, it has been found that hydrogenated oil raises the LDL levels of bad cholesterol, and lowers the HDL levels of good cholesterol in your blood. Stay away from manufactured food. If it comes in a box and has ingredients you can't pronounce it isn't real food.
