9. Hydrogenated Oils
Let’s start by saying that all hydrogenated oils are vegetable oils. Vegetable oils cannot be extracted naturally but have to be chemically removed from their source. To make them look appealing manufacturers frequently add color and scent. All vegetable oils contain high levels of Omega-6 fatty acids. An excess of these acids can cause various health problems, such as heart disease and skin cancer.
To keep your body in good health, you need a good balance of both Omega 3 and Omega 6. You can do this in the form of Omega-3 supplements or consuming fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel. Hydrogenated oils are used to preserve processed foods and keep them looking fresh for longer. Hydrogenated oils have an impact on our cell membranes’ structure and flexibility, which is linked to cancer.
