fully hydrogenated vegetable oil

so can i use walnut oil to make my own natural peanut butter?

sorry to come in on this late, but from my nutrition courses in college the rule was that if Partially Hydrogenated Oils is listed at all in the ingredients then it has to have trans fats in it. If it doesn't list this, then you can be sure that it doesn't contain trans fats.

On a side note, I just bought some natural Cashew Butter made with Raw Brazilian Cashews and Safflower Oil and it was awesome! Sorry, I get excited about the little things in life.

but what about

FULLY hydrogenated or PARTIALLY or just HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL does it has trans fat on it?

i say that because my peanut butter says on the front of the bottle no "no trans fat as always per serving"

that natural cashew butter sounds tasty

[EasyEJL]

you could add walnut oil yes. And fully hydrogenated has no trans fat, but if it just says "hydrogenated" you dont know if its fully or partly.

I don't recall ever seeing fully or completely hydrogenated oils as an ingredient. I would just assume that this is their way of saying partially, but don't quote me on that.

I've seen fully hydrogenated oils listed. If it just says hydrogenated, though, that seems to imply "fully" from a grammatical sense, but I wouldn't bet on it.

fully hydrogenated fats are the equivalent of eating shortening. Vegetables don't make saturated fats so they change the oil and saturate it. Pretty bad for the body. If the peanut butter at the store separates it's oils out then it ok.
