What is hydrogenated oils made from?
There are a few main characteristics of hydrogenated oils. They all raise LDL cholesterol and raise HDl cholesterol, they get stored in adipose tissue, and some of their fatty acids become trans fats.
DOES trans fatty acids help lower LDL cholesterol levels?
No, trans-fatty acids raises LDL and lowers HDL. Omega-3 Fatty Acids help reduce LDL and raise HDL. Omega-3 Fatty Acids are found in fish, flaxseed, nuts and soy.
Which type fats can raise the low-density lipoprotein level in the blood?
Saturated fats and trans fats are the types of fats that can raise low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels in the blood. Saturated fats are commonly found in animal products such as red meat and full-fat dairy, as well as some plant oils like coconut and palm oil. Trans fats, often found in partially hydrogenated oils used in processed foods, can significantly increase LDL cholesterol and decrease high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Reducing the intake of these fats can help maintain healthier cholesterol levels.
Will eating certain high cholesterol foods cause a rise in my LDL levels?
If you eat large amounts of animal based foods such as bacon sausage, or cold cuts, then you may develop high LDL levels. Any sorts of fried foods can also cause spikes in LDL levels. Trans fats also raise your LDL levels. Chips, butter and sugar foods are all in that category.
What vitamins in doses 10 to 15 times the RDA has been shown to reduce LDL-cholesterol and raise HDL-cholesterol?
Niacin or D3
Why is hydrogenated oil bad for your health?
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.
Pillsbury poisinous or not?
Pillsbury, as a company, is not poisonous. Pillsbury products may be good or bad for you; read the ingredients label. If you see "hydrogenated oil", or "partially hydrogenated oil" anywhere, it might as well be poison. These trans fats are worse for you than saturated fat, as they cause arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), and high LDL (low density lipoprotein) levels, aka "bad cholesterol".
Can butane be hydrogenated?
No, as an alkane it is already fully hydrogenated
What are the potential health risks associated with consuming products containing fully hydrogenated oil?
Consuming products containing fully hydrogenated oil can increase the risk of heart disease, raise bad cholesterol levels, and contribute to inflammation in the body. These health risks are due to the high levels of trans fats found in fully hydrogenated oils, which can negatively impact cardiovascular health and overall well-being.
Why is the chemistry behind saturated fats considered bad for our health?
Saturated fats are considered bad for our health because they can raise levels of LDL cholesterol, which is known as "bad" cholesterol. High levels of LDL cholesterol can increase the risk of heart disease and other health problems.
How do you get a proper HDL LDL reading being a long term lacto-ovo vegetarian?

Are Hydrogenated food products are healthier than those that are not hydrogenated?
