Hydrogenation is a process wherein unsaturated fatty acids are altered or changed into more saturated fatty acids. But why hydrogenate or saturate coconut oil? CNO is already a very saturated fat, all 92% of it. Good question, right?
By hydrogenating coconut oil or any other vegetable oil for that matter, many of the fatty acids are turned into trans fatty acids. These are artificial fat molecules alien to your body and result in all kinds of health problems.
Trans fatty acids or trans fats have no business hanging out inside your body. They are very toxic substances. Your body is unequipped to handle them in a constructive fashion.
So please stay away from all hydrogenated oils. They all contain trans-fats and increase your risk of heart disease.
