Hydrogenated Fat and Heart Disease

I found an interesting fact when reading up on hydrongenated fat. I've mentioned before that you should avoid foods with hydrongenated oils or fats. This is not an easy feat, as most of our foods today contain these. Why? Because they increase the shelf life of the food.

Here's the interesting fact, before 1911 when crisco was developed - hydrogenated cottonseed oil - very few people died of heart disease. One has to know that we have been the cause of our own demise. Read labels when you go to the store. It is difficult to find anything that does not have hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oil in it.
