One of the many processed food ingredients that we will be discussing in Oil Change - There's a Killer in Your Food is Trans Fats. This artery clogging and heart attack inducing ingredient is now illegal to use in food in the United States. Yet, even in 2020 you can still find it being used be food developers and its still on store shelves. We believe they are still taking advantage of an old loophole in the law that allows it to be used if its less than 0.5 per serving. The Pillsbury Dough Boy takes full advantage of this when he sells you Trans Fat laden biscuits. Eating these once in a blue moon hopefully will not impact your health. But if you make this a daily breakfast treat sooner or later it will catch up to you. Here's the list of ingredients and a link directly to the product.
Enriched Flour Bleached (wheat flour, niacin, ferrous sulfate, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), Water, Soybean and Palm Oil, Sugar, Baking Powder (sodium acid pyrophosphate, baking soda, sodium aluminum phosphate), Hydrogenated Palm Oil.

Just in case you didn't know the "Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil" is the ingredient that contains Trans Fat. This product also contains aluminum which is also not recommended to eat on a regular bases since it can impact your health.
