This ingredient is bad for your health.
Food manufacturers at the turn of the century invented a process called 'hydrogenation' which converts vegetable oils into 'vegetable shortening' by catalyzing them with hydrogen and certain metals in the presence of heat. In the last decade food manufacturers and fast food restaurants have switched to using hydrogenated vegetable oils because they are less expensive and because food cooked with them has a longer shelf life.
