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
