I have been trying to figure something out, and I need your help. I've noticed when I eat foods with hydro oils in them, I get a headache and nausea. Anyone else have these issues? I am trying to see if that's really the cause here. Oh, I've also had some weight gain too.

    Impossible to pin point something like that. Most or should I say all transfats are made into some kind of food, and it could be the many other franken ingredients found in those foods, or it could be just coincidence.

    Well, I try really hard not to eat hydrogenated oils, as I read a lot of labels. I had three times this past week where I ate a cookie or cake made my someone else, and that's when I noticed those symptoms.

    If you've never eaten a cookie or store bought cake in the last 50 years, then yes there might be a correlation.
