I have said for the past 20 years that I believe hydrogenated oils are the cause of heart disease, since the sharp increase in heart disease in the united states occurs at the same time as the introduction of margarine, and hydrogenated oils into peanut butter as well as other foods.
During WW2 medics found that young soldiers who were wounded in battle had severely clogged heart arteries. This was in men in their 20's! I suspect margarine and peanut butter are the cause, NOT cholesterol. I think cholesterol is the biggest lie ever forced on the American public. I'll stick with butter thank you very much! Especially after the recent discussions on this list. If cholesterol is the problem, why are there any surviving Frenchmen? Yet the French do not have near the heart disease problem that we have in the United States... despite a diet rich in cholesterol~ hmmm. I do not believe that wine consumption is the sole answer either, although it may be contributory to promoting heart health. The French do seem to shun margarine in favor of butter however.

Some even add (ug!) cotton seed or soy bean oil...
