Body
Significance
Origin of use

Ever since its creation in early 1900s to 1940s it use was popularized because the economy.

From the 1950s to the early1980s campaigns against natural fats caused the food industry to
replace them with hydrogenated oils.

Hydrogenated oils are unnatural products that are known cause health issues and will
eventually affect your household.

We buy on average 787 pounds of processed food a year compared to only 602 lbs. of fresh
food.

Improve the health of yourself and family.

Harms
If we don’t start avoiding processed foods that contain hydrogenated oils many serious
health issues may follow in the future.

As mentioned before hydrogenated oils are unnatural so our bodies are inefficient in
digesting them causing health issues like:

Obesity, it is caused by high diet in fats especially the ones found in hydrogenated oils that
usually store in your body.

Diabetes type2, according to Howard Hughes medical institute, that its caused entirely by
consumption of fats found in hydrogenated oils which damage the insulin receptors of the
cells, making it hard to process sugar levels.

CHD, as fats accumulate in the body, they raise low density lipoprotein(bad cholesterol) and
contribute to the buildup of plaque in the arteries.

An increase of as little as 2% in consumption of foods with fats found in hydrogenated oil can lead
to a 23% increase risk in CHD.(British medical journal)

According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of
Health, over 12.5 million Americans suffer from CHD, and more than 500,000 die each year.
This makes CHD one of the leading causes of death in the United States today

This affects your health, say you visit your doctor and he tells you have high blood pressure
and your cholesterol levels are high, of course he is going ask you what your diet consist of,
and where you have been eating lately, and your answer might be fast food or other foods
that may have hydrogenated oils. Your health is at risk, avoid them.

Inherency
The only reason they are still in use, because the food industries have no cheaper solution in
preserving food.

Barriers

Government has not applied any policies to stop the use except for the labeling policy of fats
from hydrogenated oils when they are in foods.

FDA law allows food containing less than 0.5 grams be listed as zero.
In 2003, Denmark effectively banned trans-fat from foods, charting a course for an 80% reduction of
trans-fat in all foods.

10. in 2008, California became the first state to ban restaurant chains from using  trans-fats for
cooking or frying.
Use of saturated fats be to expensive and same way unhealthy, even though there are healthier
solution would not be profitable.

People think natural and healthier alternatives are too expensive.

People think natural healthier alternatives don’t taste good.

People are misled by the labels on food they eat.

Find and try new natural alternatives

The FDA predicts that by just removing trans-fat from all margarines -- currently 70% are
high in trans fats -- 6,300 heart attacks would be prevented each year. They also state that
the elimination of trans fat in just 3% of breads and cakes and 15% of cookies and crackers
would save an astronomical $59-billion in health care costs in the next 20 years.
