It seams like many of you are interested in improving your health so I feel compelled to pass this along. A word of warning though... If this article hits you like it did me, you are probably going to have to change an awful lot about the way you eat. But if you do make these changes, it may be as important to your long term health as anything you could do.

It concerns Hydrogenated Oil AKA Trans Fat. I feel this stuff it the manifestation of the Anti Christ on the earth plane!

Kinda old news

I know this has been out for a while but after reading the info on the link I learned a LOT more that I had realized about Trans Fats.

Like, they are in far more of our food supply that most of us know.
Most restaurants, even fine ones use Hydroginated Oils to fry everything and it's often in the bread they serve.
That there is NO SAFE level of ingestion.
That even if an item in the grocert store says, "No Trans Fats" they still likely will contain them. Check the ingredients list.

There is alot more. Just wanted to share...

Thanks for the link Mtnman. I'm trying to learn how to eat healthier (instead of "dieting"). The article explained the differences in good and bad fats in a way that is easier to understand than anything else I've read on it.

Yeah, but .... the bad fats taste so much better!!

They've ruined the donuts, the cookies, etc. w/these "healthy" fats ..... blech!

Plus I can't say that modern science has done much to improve our foods which are less healthy than ever.

They've given us tomatoes w/skin so tuff you need to stab them before you can slice them. They taken away the good taste and made them hard as a rock or pumped up w/gas.

They've lost the nice, juicy, soft pears and peaches and replaced them w/hard as a rock peaches and pears so sweet they are almost sickening sweet.

etc., etc., etc.

well to avoid all that, I just popped the cork on a bottle of Fetzer Cabernet Sauvignon, poured me a glass and sticking a bacon-wrapped Omaha Steak Filet on the BBQ, going to nuke a potato, stuff it with butter and cheese and nuke up a bowl of broccoli, may even chase all that with a beer, who knows.

I bet I haven't eaten at a fast-food joint in like 6 months.

"Snoredog is eating who we are supposed to eat..."

DANG! You ARE a Mountain Man! Is your last name DONNER?

BTW, King County just banned trans fats. Seattle. I'm sure my county will follow suit soon. Good thing, too, because I can't cook and these supersized meals from Mickey-D's are killing me.

I can fire up the barbecue. Think I'll go have another Kosher hot dog. The one for lunch was darned good...

LOL,

All you have to do is avoid eating out (especially fast food ... if you really want to be shocked -- read the book fast food nation) and not buy any prepared foods from the grocer ... buy and eat only fresh foods and learn to cook your own.

Dreamstalker, you got it right. My doctor told me that if it wasn't around 100 years ago, I probably shouldn't eat it.

Simple advice but extremely effective...

Ok Babette, settle down. It was just a typo... Or was it???
