srry, but i'm not too concerned...

[VeraMaria]

Sorry curtins, but the title cracked me up.

My nutrition is pretty healthy...my mom makes sure of that.

Are there hydrogenated oils in McDonald's dbl cheeseburgers?

[curtins]

yes

I beleive the only things they have there that dont have it are- drinks, parfeits, pancakes(minus the margerine), salad(no crutons no chicken), i think thats it

[curtins]

am i the only phatmasser who seems to care about this????

it seems everyone gets all defensive when I tell them they are basically poisoning themselves

What do you suggest we do?

[the_rev]

I've actually tried to cut back on those... Thanks to a person I went on retreat with.

1) read ingredient lists if it says "hydrogenated oil" on it- dont buy it
2) if you have somthing in your house that says
"hydrogenated oil" on it- throw it out
3) spread the word about how bad the stuff is

if i didnt think this was important i wouldnt post this- you SHOULD be concerned- many doctors have said this stuff is horrible- its like cigarrettes- u cant feel the effects now but in the long run you are toast

[picchick]

What else is there to eat?

[curtins]

PLENTY

dont rely on poison- read sum of the articles about it that i posted and maybe you will realize how bad it really is

[curtins]

buuuummmpppp

[Carnanc]

whoa, thanks curtins, I'll be sure to keep this in mind. our family has been on the lookout for this stuff in the past but we've been a little busy lately so have been less vigilant. thanks for the reminder..

I honestly didn't know what to make of this thread.

I think the reason why people get touchy and defensive is because it's the equivalent to creating a thread that says "Get regular exercise!" "Eat Omega 3 fish oil!" "Stop smoking!"

Generally things that people SHOULD already know.

Don't get me wrong, people probably appreciate the information. I'm becoming more aware of saturated fat and cholesterol these days, myself...

But when you phrase it like a screaming chicken little, it's going to rub people the wrong way.
No offense intended...
Thanks for listening.

Actually some sodas have it in them too....mostly citrus-y flavored things like Mountain Dew.... um, yummy I think I'll have a big ol' glass of ice-cold oil! (Sorry, Mountain Dew disgusts me....)
