Products containing hydrogenated fat tend to be solid, not liquid. Kids foods have some of the highest levels of hydrogenated fats. Especially guilty are the breakfast cereals, cookies and crackers that kids love. Breakfast bars, snack bars, peanut butter and other products marketed for kids are loaded with hydro fats. We feel strongly that the epidemic of fat, lazy, attention-deficit children in the United States is at least partly a result of a diet extraordinarily high in hydrogenated fats and refined sugars.
Fast food is loaded with hydro fats.
Hamburger and hot dog buns all have it. French fries are mostly fried in pure hydrogenated fat now, since beef tallow is politically incorrect. McDonalds, among others, switched to vegetable shortening a few years ago in response to misguided public pressure to get rid of lard. So now, we get bland fries with as much as 40 percent trans fats. Be sure to read Fast Food Nation to get the scoop on the many evils of corporate-controlled fast food.
