partially hydrogenated oil has been the food industry's favorite cooking medium for decades. It makes French fries crisp and sweets creamy, and keeps packaged pastries fresh for months.Yikes! That's your warning sign right there. Do you REALLY want to put something in your body that keeps pastries fresh for months?
On April 1, 2003, I made a concerted effort to eliminate packaged foods from my diet. Since then, I have hardly had any partially hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup (which deserves a thread of its own). My health today is nearly perfect and I feel great.
I don't think this is "junk science" either. I think that the human body was designed to eat only whole foods and while it is difficult in today's society to eat only whole foods, it is worth the effort.

I made a concerted effort to eliminate packaged foods from my diet. Me too. The thought of feeding those chemicals to my family...ugh. What really surprised me is how much money I saved making most things from scratch.

Do you REALLY want to put something in your body that keeps pastries fresh for months? The average life expectancy has been going up, up, up, and up.
My theory as to why:
WE'RE FULL OF PRESERVATIVES!!!
