Here are some friends with simlar question as we.And I have this question for many days,anyone help us?
Kitty said: Yes.what is the difference between hydrogenated oil and normal oil?-I try seach this on internet but no results found.Maybe this is a stupid question.
Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(what is the difference between hydrogenated oil and normal oil?),it will help you,my kids.




Answers:
Hydrogenated oil, literally is oil that has been hydrogenated. Hydrogenation is the process that changes unsaturated fats to saturated fats (saturated with hydrogen atoms). Saturated fats are good for you, unsaturated fats are bad for you.

Other Answers:
Hydrogenated oil, as the name suggests, is more saturated with hydrogens than normal oils. Normal oils have many double bonds between the carbons and hydrogens that create 'kinks' which make the oil stay liquid at room temperature. Hydrogenated oil, or trans fat, has less kinks and is therefore less healthy for you.
This is a chemistry answer, but it's the best I can do.

All cooking oils contain carbon and hydrogen atoms. Fully hydrogenated, or saturated, oils have two hydrogen atoms for one carbon atom, H-C-H. or CH2, as a repeating unit. Unsaturated oils have some double bonds between the carbons, which results in fewer hydrogen atoms per carbon atom.

The non-chemistry answer: saturated fats or oils are worse for humans that unsaturated or partially unsaturated fats or oils. The difference being that saturated fats and oils cause a greater elevation of blood cholesterol in susceptible individuals.
kind of hard to explain, regular fats are either saturated or unsaturated. to be saturated (to keep things simple) you have a long chain of carbon atoms all bonded together and with two hydrogen atoms bonded to each carbon. in unsaturated, you have the carbon chain but not all of them have two hydrogens, in place of a hydrogen the carbons will have a double bond with the next carbon. so, when they hydrogenate fats, they pump hydrogen gas through the fats to make the hydrogen bond to the carbons. so basically they are trying to saturate it so that there are two hydrogens to each carbon. this is done to make an unsaturated fat saturated. however, with the conformation of the molecule, it is not the same shape and properties as saturated fats and therefore is worse for the body because it can't be broken down as easily as the other fats. hope this made sense, i do much better explaining this if i can draw it out LOL
Normal oil is a liquid. Hydrogenated oils are solid oils that used to be liquid. "Hydrogenation is the process that changes liquid vegetable oils into a more solid form in order to lengthen their shelf life. A good example is Crisco oil and vegetable shortening. Crisco oil is a liquid at room temperature; it is hydrogenated to produce solid Crisco vegetable shortening. The process of hydrogenation also increases the saturated-fat content. In general, foods that are less hydrogenated are preferred because they have less saturated fat." (see below for source)

The process of hydrogenation converts a natural oil to Plastic. The purpose of doing this is to create a food product with an endless shelf life which puts money into the pockets of those that handle this stuff,
Various types of vegetable oils are liquid. They are unsaturated--the type of fat that is healthier than saturated for the majority of the fat in your diet.

Hydrogenation take unsaturated oils and artificially saturates it. It has all the negatives of saturated fats (bad for the heart), plus it is a highly chemicalized food, so it has none of the benefits of butter or other naturally saturated fat.
Professional-mother is right. Hydrogenated oils behave in the body in the same way as the worst kind of saturated fat you could possibly imagine!! Really they should be banned, they don't even have the dubious advantage of being 'natural' by the time they're processed!! The only 'advantages' they have are being cheap, and being capable of disguising themselves on the food label as 'healthier' fats so you don't know you're killing yourself!!
