If you want substantial 'proof' that partially-hydrogenated oils are REALLY REALLY bad for you, then take a look at some of the people that eat them... be observant, and take a look at the health of people that eat the higest amount of junk food.
Chips, cookies, cakes, pastries of all sorts, frozen foods, and boxed foods all contain high amounts of partially hydrogenated oils. People that eat these foods on a regular basis ( as opposed to high amounts of uncooked fruits and vegetables) are in poorer health than those who don't, so in fact youcan learn from this 'experiment'.
If you have ever seen a big bucket of hydrogenated oil, like that episode of Oprah when she had dr. oz on, you would never want to eat another food that conatined it. i avoid foods with hydrogenated oils all the time now. i check the label.
The problem is that hydrogenated oils are a man-made chemical compound that the human body was never designed to eat. It puts a huge burden on our digestive systems, because our bodies just don't know what to do with it. They ravage our health, and you are right when you say the government is doing nothing to help us, because we are in fact an experiment for these kinds of things.
Don't trust the FDA, they are corrupted with a capital C.
Avoid putting your money into things that support the use of trans-fats, and especially hydrogenated oils.
Dont' buy the food and companies won't manafacture it--it's that simple..
