A member asked:
What is the difference of food labels between partially hydrogenated oils and trans-fats?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hardly any: Partially hydrogenated oils are hazardous becuase they contain toxic trans fats. The amount of trans fats is 50% the amount of partially hydrogenated oil. Either way, these should be avoided. But be careful- a food can claim to have "0% trans fat" and still have 2.2 grams! see www.Treelight.Com/health/nutrition/transfatlabels.Html & www.Treelight.Com/health/nutrition/partiallyhydrogenatedoils.Html.
