Margarine

If you go through the grocery store today there are trans fats everywhere. Try going through the grocery store this week to see how many products have hydrogenated oil in the ingredients. Trans fats should not be consumed by humans since they disrupt many processes in the body. Someone told me last week that you can actually run your car on margarine. The main ingredient in most margarines is trans fat and trans fats are actually very similar to motor oil. The are not good for us so do yourself a favor and try to avoid anything that has hydrogenated oils in the ingredients. If you do end up consuming trans fats one thing that can help is fish oil. The omega 3's help to push the trans fats out of the cells.
