Effects of a hydrogenated vit K on bone formation and resorption
Hydrogenated oils are artifically created oils that produce consistancies of oils that fit consumer demand and processing needs. Many oils are liquids at room temp and would be unsuitable for a processed snack that needs a shelf live somewhat longer than Dick Clark…so we process them to produce a solid. This process changes the oil and produces many harmful aspects. Generally, I have considered the adverse effects of the trans-saturated fat and their negative effect on health and disease. I must admit that I never considered the fat soluble vitamins as also being altered. This study suggests that they are in fact altered in a negative way.
