To answer your question;





They don't want to make the sacrifices that they want to impose on others, example Al Gore. Eventually they will look to the federal government to again solve their problems.

How can products with no transfats contain hydrogenated oil?

Hydrongenated oil is trans fat.





The FDA lets companies put 0 grams of trans fat on the label, even though there is some trans fat.





If there is less than 1 gram per serving, then there are 0 grams. If you eat more than one serving, then the trans fat starts to add up.





Best to look at the ingredients and not buy anything with hydroginated oils.How can products with no transfats contain hydrogenated oil?
Because the FDA rules right now allow a product to say ';no trans fats '; or zero grams trans fats as long as the trans fats per serving is less than 1/2 a gram.





Also, fully hydrogenated oil turns the unsaturated fats into saturated fats, but there are no trans fats left in the end product. Partially hydrogenated oil is the one that turns the unsaturated oils into both saturated and trans fats.





They are both bad for you!How can products with no transfats contain hydrogenated oil?
It all a bunch of nonsense


I've had Crisco in my diet for 67 years


trans-fat became a word in 1980 another farce played by the food psychotics (WHO are all FAT or genitic loosers)


Bargan girl gave you the right info and Is afraid of the spooky word also.


have you folks given up cake with frosting

Flaxseed Oil = Peanut Oil/Products?

Hi, I'm deathly allergic to Peanuts (oil, butter, etc.) the other day I began taking tablespoons of FlaxSeed Oil. I was told that since I can't eat nuts, I should try the flax seed oil to get similar types of fatty acids. On my second day of taking it, I started to have flu like symptoms. The next day I didn't take the oil -- I still feel sick, but not as much. Could I be allergic to it?





TIA!Flaxseed Oil = Peanut Oil/Products?
You could be allergic to it. It depends on if you took it with food or on an empty stomach.Flaxseed Oil = Peanut Oil/Products?
Actually, seeds are making a big name for themselves in the allergy world. Sesame is about to officially become the new addition to the top 8, making it the top 9.


Aside from that huge news, anything with protein in it, can be an allergen. And anyone with one allergy often has others.


Yes, you can be allergic to flax. I would not want to disregard such a healthy food without knowing for sure though. I t might be worth a quick scratch test at the allergists. But I wouldn't recommend trying it again until then.
May process the flax at the same place as peanut butter. Hope not. A visit to a specialist can take much of the guess work out of things. They may load your arm up with a bunch of test spots and work out what you really are allergic to. For some it is something that can save their life.
people who are allergic to nuts are sometimes allergic to seeds as well, read the ingredients listings to see if anything has been added to the flax.


If it still persists, see your doctor!

Are oil ';stop leak'; products beneficial or damaging to your vehicle?

I have a oil leak in my car...I do not know where the leak originates from however I have in the past seen a few oil ';stop leak'; products...please advise me....do they work, or are they ineffective and will damage my vehicle.





Thank you for your much needed advise on this question. Are oil ';stop leak'; products beneficial or damaging to your vehicle?
I've used those products in the past on several vehicles with great results.If a rubber seal is worn and becoming hard the conditioner will swell and soften permanently.It can't hurt anything.This is one thing that many of us have been told is not good to use,I don't believe that. Are oil ';stop leak'; products beneficial or damaging to your vehicle?



On the average, they only swell seals or block certain leaks, which


sometimes blocks important oil passages as well. Your best bet


is to get under the vehicle and track down the leak. It's a good chance


it may just be a valve cover leaking down or something small. If it


is a bigger problem like a rear main seal or oil pan gasket, the leak


stop products are only putting a temporary band aid on it, and that's


if it even works at all. My personal experience with the oil leak stops


is.... forget about it ! Find your leak if you plan on keeping your car.





Good Luck to you
I am not sure if those ';stop leak'; products it's really beneficial or more damaging. The first thing is to find out where/what is leaking, I personally would take the car to a mechanic and get it fix. Normally it's just a oil-seal, o-ring, or gasket that has done it's days.
i don,t think they will harm the engine but that stuff is only temporary. about the only true way of fixing a leak is change the gaskets or 0-rings.
they are a waste of money and sometimes a temporary fix that can do more damage than their worth, just bite the bullet and get it fixed right.
Kev said it as well as I could - have the leak properly repaired.

Fuel./ Heavy oil products?

Why has the price of Heavy oil (Diesel) increased in price so much. It is a totally inferior to petrol. 26% water, in fact?Fuel./ Heavy oil products?
Interesting question. It takes 1/7th the refining to make diesel than it does gasoline and yet it costs more at the pump. I don't buy the excuse that because they've changed the sulphur content standards, as the price was higher BEFORE the change was made.





Let's see, less work to make a cheaper product yet costs more to the end user. . . . . . PROFIT!Fuel./ Heavy oil products?
We are being ripped off.


The news today is that oil is now 拢100 a barrel.


As a barrel is 42 gallons that should be 拢2 a gallon.


We are now paying more than 拢5 a gallon.
simple.....you're getting ripped by the petrol industry....and you cant do much because you NEED it
Because we idiots pay for it ..
international market oil prices increasing
BECAUSE THIS LABOUR GOVERNMENT IS SCREWING US BIG TIME.


FUEL PROTESTS WILL BE BACK I THINK.
lol...increase in oil prices have NOTHING to do with what they are made of. it is all to do with trade embargos, agreements, politics, and boycotts between countries. The price of oil goes up when the middle east decides it does. We need to start creating our own energy, or make bio-diesel or SOMETHING before we have nothing to pass on to our kids but a broken economy at the mercy of other countries.
One major reason is that home heating needs increase in the late autumn and winter, which increases demand for #2 oil, which is both diesel and home heating oil. Also, refinery time can greatly affect the cost of refining fractions, as each one takes time from all the others. Balancing the need costs money.





Not sure where you got the 26% water number from. I work for a fuel retailer and can assure you, none of our diesel fuels have 26% water, or even 1%. That would foul up an engine in about 5 seconds.
yep
In France Diesel is always cheaper than petrol, thats because more cars run on diesel there, but in the U.K the marjority of cars are petrol, and because trucks have larger tanks and require large amounts of fuel ,it means they sell more fuel to less customers, and the garages only make money on selling bread, milk,beer ,wine, magazines, toothpaste, condoms, magic trees..................
is the US the EPA has mandated the use of ultra low sulphur diesel, it cost more to make than the old fuel

Omega-3 products from seal-oil are purer than those from fish oil, but would anyone want to buy it?

I have found a product on the web which is Omega-3 from seals and not fish. I guess seals eat the fish, go figure. Would it sell in the UK given that it's made with seals? Would you be put off 'cos it's from seals?Omega-3 products from seal-oil are purer than those from fish oil, but would anyone want to buy it?
Given the fact that it is baby seals that are culled (bludgeoned to death) just imagine those big brown eyes as they die. Omega 3 can be obtained from any oily fish, also from avocados and seeds and nuts and it is now added to milks, margarines and drinks. Personally I eat all the above several times a week, if I happen to miss them out one day, then I take a fish oil supplement.Omega-3 products from seal-oil are purer than those from fish oil, but would anyone want to buy it?
whoo knows!?
I use omega 3, but i have no idea if it's from seals(will go %26amp; have a look in a minute) NO i would'nt buy it if it came from seals!!


It's accepted we fish, so get the oil from them, why kill another species?
fish, seals - I do not see that it matters that much
