Hydrogenated Oils in Bagels.....

[Tmacdunk]

Ive noticed that out of all the flavors of Lender's at my local market all contain Hydro Soybean Oil.

The only exception is the Cinnamon raisin flavor but it does contain soybean oil.

Anyone have know why?

because bagels are processed! mostly all processed foods contail some kind of oil to perserve shelf life so they can last on the market longer and still make good sales!

its common sense and in most foods that are not whole or organic

I really wouldn't call it common sense. A lot of processed foods do not have these oils.

most do to perserve shelf life.. why do you think they can keep them out for so long? its smart to keep the oils in them so they can stick out longer and still make a profit instead of throwing them away because they would go bad

maybe look for some in a bakery that cooks them daily and ask for ingredients ....they should be ok (no hyrd oil)

You would think so, but you would be wrong. Bakery's need a hard shortening to work with most baked goods, and since animal fat is not good for you [scarcasm], the industry replaced that hard shortening with hydrogenated veg oil, and 99% of bakery's still use it. What they need is to go back to, animal fat (lard)...but of course that would mean educating the total population that lard isn't that bad in comparison to hydrogenated veg oils. It won't happen anytime soon.

Bagels have very little fat. The amount of hydrogenated oils is insignificant in your daily diet. Don't worry about it.

yeah, if bagels make you fat, why do i always see skinny girls eating them with the slightest amount of cream cheese on them for "lunch" or "breakfast"?

You could say that about anything though. There are plenty of people that eat fast food that aren't fat.

I know what you are saying but sometimes that is not the case.

it mostly comes down to cals in vs cals out.. if u restrict urself to not much when u eat out at ****ty places there is not much to worry about.. sure the food may be unhealthy and whatnot.. but if u dont meet a certain caloric intake u will not gain weight regardless of what u eat.. u could eat dog **** day in and day out if u dont have more cals then u burn.. ur going to lose weight

the only time i'd eat bagels is post workout...is actually when i eat an english muffin with some natural PB. but some people can eat anything and stay small. if you feel like you need one...i guess you could eat it with something good on it before you work out to make sure you burn it off.
