17. Hydrogenated Oils
Hydrogenation is the process of adding hydrogen to a liquid fat to make it solid, which creates hydrogenated oils or artificial trans fats. Partially hydrogenated oils are added to some foods to prolong their shelf life, but this may increase the risk of prostate and other cancers for those who eat them.
Common foods containing partially hydrogenated oils include prepared baked goods, coffee creamers, packaged snacks and margarine. To avoid consuming hydrogenated oils in excess, individuals are encouraged to check a packaged food's ingredient list.
