The article is the most comprehensive and extensive article on the net about hydrogenated oils. The article explains what they are, when they started being used, and the deadly effects they cause from coronary heart disease, to diabetes type II, to cancer and autoimmune diseases.
Provided are numerous references and links to research studies from Harvard Medical Research, The Helsinky Institute and other reputable research centers around the world. The article has been read by over 20 million readers since 1998 and is continously being updated. Make sure you read the updates at the end of the column.

Before we get to the column...a note from David Lawrence Dewey:
In 1996, when I first wrote about the serious health dangers of hydrogenated oils, there were many that thought I was nuts. Interesting how when one keeps telling the truth, eventually people will start to listen.
I hope and pray that this will continue across the country and more and more cities and states will not only ask, but inact laws to ban hydrogenated oils/trans fats as Denmark did in 2003. I also hope that States will ban the use of mono-diglycerides and the chemical sweetener Aspartame, also known as Equal and Nutrasweet.
Two years ago, I began working with over 400 mothers across the country in which a massive letter writing campaign began to the FDA and Congressman. The outcome of that was by January 1st, all food labels must list the percentage of trans fats, the by-product of hydrogenated oils. In addition, these brave mothers, out of concern for their children, have force school boards to remove junk food machines and soft drink machines, especially diet soft drink containing the deadly sweetener aspartame from over 200 schools nationwide.
In addition, through PTA associations, they have made school cafeterias stop serving foods containing hydrogenated oils to their children. If this has not been done in your school districts, as a concerned Mother, you should get with other mothers in your school districts and demand these changes. Your childrens health is at risk. I have received hundreds of thousands of emails from readers of how their health has improved and how they have eliminated many health problems, including diabetes type II and finally losing weight.
In case you are not aware, in 2005, a law was passed that any school receiving federal funds for school meals, ( 90% of all school receive federal funds for meals), must develop and implement a wellness and food policy before the 2006-2007 school year. This law is unique because it REQUIRES schools to INCLUDE parents in the process.
Now is the time for all of you parents to spread the word and get involved. It's your right now under the law to demand good nutrition for your children at school. Contact your school Principal and ask to be put into the loop. Contact your local PTA Association as well and get others involved. Please get involved to make sure your children are eating healthy foods!
This is what you should expect your school cafeteria to provide your children:
* Low fat milk offered in clear plastic bottles - especially chocolate milk, kids will drink more of it.
* DO not allow no-fat food to be served. Studies show that no-fat foods actually cause weight gain because it changes the way the body is processing fats and how they NOT burn fats in the body.
* Milk and dairy products should be organic that do not contain anti-biotics and pesticides like regular milk does.
* Cows feed non-organic grains have increased pesticides in milk. Cows that are injected with anti-biotics pass this into their milk. Studies show that by ingesting these by-products of anti-biotics in products is lowering the resistant to bacteria in the human body.
*All dairy products SHOULD not contain carregenan. Carreegenan is used in many products as a thickening agent. Studies have shown it increases inflammation throughout body and increases arithritis and breathing disorders like asthma.
* All meats should be from organic sources. Chicken should be organic, free from anti-biotic injections and range fed. Eggs should be as well.
* More fresh water fish - NO FARM RAISED FISH - these fish are showing unusual strains of bacteria in the meat.
* More fruits and vegetables on the menus - preferably organic to reduce pesticide ingestion * All fruits and vegetables should be throughly washed. If not organic, outside peelings like apples and other fruits should not be eaten with these peelings because of possible high pesticide contamination.
*Check to see where fruits are coming from, what country? Fruits coming from Mexico and South America where they allow the use of many pesticides BANNED in the U.S. In these countries, farmers also use human waste and sewage water for fertilizers. Do you want your children eating this?
* No junk foods - demand that all junk foods be taken out of food machines.
* No soft drinks - demand that all soft drinks be replaced with drinking water or 100% fruit juices.
*Juices should not be sweetened with high fructose syrup, a leading cause of your children developing diabetes.
* Whole grains in bread products
* NO FOODS CONTAINING HYDROGENATED OILS or MONODIGLYCERIDES
* NO FOODS CONTAINING MSG - ( MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE )
* NO FOODS CONTAINING ASPARTAME
* Healthy oils to be used, olive oil, grapeseed oil, coconut oil,
