Answer to Question 1

PHOs are produced when manufacturers add hydrogen to a plant oil to solidify the oil and help it resist rancidity, prolonging shelf life of the food product. The hydrogenation process straightens the fatty acid chains, resulting in a fat that lowers HDL and raises LDL, increasing risks for cardiovascular disease. For this reason, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration no longer recognizes PHOs as safe. Food companies have until July 2018 to remove PHOs from foods. Until then, read labels carefully. Avoid any products that list partially hydrogenated oils, fractionated oils, shortening, lard, or hydrogenation of any oil.

Answer to Question 2

D

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
