The point I'm trying to make is how is anyone supposed to figure out that there would be some sort of danger to your heath in something so unrelated as a chocolate chip cookie.

The same thing happened to me and I don't have any allergies. Do you even know what Hydrogenated oil is if you weren't told? Until that article about the Oreo cookies was printed, I'll bet, unless you were a chemist or doctor, you never heard of it.

Bunk.

It's the medical fad of the moment.

Some other fads taken in by dolts and dullards. Water bad, beer good. Cocaine, heroin good then bad. Meat eating, milk drinking good, then bad. Fish good, then bad, then good. Wheat allergies. Sugar as white death. Butter bad, margarine good, margarine bad. Pasta bad then good now bad. Eggs good, then bad now a little good. Salt good, now bad. Home cooking good, then bad, now good and bad.

And on and on and on.

Here is some real honest to true facts.

There is no scientific connection between salt and high blood pressure.

There is no scientific connection between blood cholesterols and hart disease.

In the last 40 years the mortality rate has remained unchanged.

Oddly, no Doctor can tell why YOU got cancer, heart disease, etc. Nor can any Doctor or scientist tell why anyone got hart disease/cancer. Nor can they tell why any 2 people did, nor 10 people, nor 1,000 or ten thousand.

Yet somehow they know.

Now, I don't know about you. But if I assemble something wear each and every part is unknown, how you get a brand spanky Cadillac out of it and it not be a big pile of medical umba-gumba witch doctorery, I don't know.

Todays Doctor is tomorrows butcher.

Once again, for those in the back of the class...  If you have that many problems, or allergies that are that serious, you simply cannot think that anything is "unrelated" and you have absolutely no business eating anything for which you haven't personally verified the contents of each and every ingredient or preferably made for yourself.  Processed food is just not meant for you.

The same thing happened to me and I don't have any allergies. Do you even know what Hydrogenated oil is if you weren't told? Until that article about the Oreo cookies was printed, I'll bet, unless you were a chemist or doctor, you never heard of it.

By the name and an application of reasoning, I could deduce that "hydrogenated oil" was most likely oil in which hydrogen gas had somehow been injected or blended for some reason.  However, that is beside the point.  Like I said before - if you are so afraid that something may harm you in processed food, go do the research and find out what the ingredients are.  If you are too stupid or lazy to go do all the required research to determine what each and every ingredient consists of in processed food before you eat it, then it just isn't for you.  Make your own food and quit your damn whining.  But let the rest of us eat what we want!
