Great post Julie! One question I've had while looking at labels is .... I know partially hydrogenated oils are horrible. What about just plain ol' hydrogenated oils? Are they better than, worse than, or the same as partially hydrogenated? Thanks!

That's an interesting question! Experts traditionally caution against partially hydrogenated because it was a sign of trans fat in the product. However, now that trans fat is on the nutrition facts label it's a different story. Hydrogenated fat and partially hydrogenated fats are all chemically processed fats.
If you're avoiding trans fat, you can find that on the label. Personally, I wouldn't eat it if the hydrogenated fat was one of the first few ingredients. If it's further down on the list you probably don't have to worry about it as much because there's less of it. Always look for saturated and trans fat on the label though.
