This is my first time here and I will definitely be back. I have been making my own refried beans for years, and thankfully, my family like them better than the canned kind. I have yet to make homemade tortillas, but that's the next step for me. I try to stay away from anything that says hydrogenated in the ingredient list but it's not always easy when you are trying to please the whole family. <abbr><em>DarcyLee’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/ByuW/~3/gYrPNI4Uh6Y/no-stress-here.html" rel="nofollow">No Stress Here!</a></abbr></em> What a great post!

Soybean oil is just an oil like any other, and when taken from its liquid form to a solid form, it's just as evil. Soy is actually one of those foods that some people laud like it's going to save the world and others would sweep under the rug as so much dust. Don't think the seeing the word soy=healthy. In this case, it definitely isn't. I'm proud of you for checking labels right away! Eye opening, isn't it? Thanks for the super question -- Katie GREAT question!

As you indicated, the trans fat reading is reported as "0" but I am curious if this still fits in the trans fat category? I am guessing yes from the "partially hydrogenated" portion but am thrown off by it being SOY. Thanks! While checking labels, I came across 2 products that have “partially hydrogenated SOYBEAN oil”.

It is vegan, can withstand high heat, and is very healthy in and of itself! Its what I used to make my strawberry shortcake recipe. <abbr><em>Stacy’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.completelyedible.com/2009/05/strawberry-shortcake/" rel="nofollow">Strawberry Shortcake</a></abbr></em> Coconut oil is another great substitute for vegetable shortening.
