Hydrogenated Oils
We’ve tackled before the risk of over-using supplements, the damage they can cause to our health when combined with other medications. What we didn’t mention is the risk of finding in our supplements some toxic ingredients we avoid. For example, we might avoid eating margarine for its hydrogenated fats, but did you know that you can find those fats in some supplements as well?
For example, soybean oil is partially hydrogenated, and it’s among the list of major fillers in the majority of vitamins today. Unless the soy is organic, you can be sure you’ll find soy genetically modified.
So why are we being served supplements that contain dangerous ingredients? Because they’re cheap fillers. You’d better work on having a healthy diet rather than taking horse sized pills that are a threat to your health.
