When polyunsaturated oils are hydrogenated, they undergo a chemical process that adds hydrogen atoms to the oil, converting liquid oils into more solid forms, such as margarine or shortening. This process increases the oil's shelf life and stability, but it can also create trans fats, which are associated with negative health effects. As a result, hydrogenated oils may contribute to Heart disease and other health issues when consumed in excess. Therefore, many health organizations recommend limiting the intake of hydrogenated oils.

Typically your polyunsaturated oils (corn) go rancid fast than more monounsaturated oils (olive), because polyunsaturated oils are more unstable. Saturated oils, though they have a reputation of being bad for you, are the most stable oils and, therefore, they keep much better. They also tend to have higher cooking temps.

Olive oil that is hydrogenated lowers risk of atherosclerosis true or false?

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.
