The hydrogenation process involves heating and exposing oil to hydrogen gas. A consequence of the hydrogenation process is the formation of trans-fats, which increase LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and lower HDL (“good”) cholesterol, and increases the risk of CHD. Scientific Evidence Changes our Perceptions there has been scientific evidence to support the health risks associated with intake of trans-fat, the food service industry has clear labeling of trans-fats on food products, and many restaurants use trans-fat-free oil.
