Trans Fats

TRANS FATS
There is increased awareness about the problems with trans fats, unfortunately the companies containing this unhealthy substance are not moving very fast to make the changes to eliminate the ingredient. There is a great article in newstarget that speaks specifically about the dangers of hydrogenated oils.

Here are some other harmful ingredients to stay away from:

Sodium nitrite (meats)
Monosodium glutamate (soups)
Aspartame (diet soda)
Yeast extract (snacks)
Hydrogenated oils
High-fructose corn syrup

Some of the issues associated with the consumption of these ingredients are an increased risk of a number of degenerative chronic diseases including heart disease, diabetes, birth defects, cancer, malabsorption of healthy oils and the universal breakdown of cell wall structures throughout all organs and tissues of the body, including nervous system tissues (eyes, brain, spinal cord, etc.).
