process, even though it sounds similar to the "hydrogenation" we warn against. You'll see it primarily referring to additives such as hydrolyzed soy protein, which are harmless and used in such small quantities that they are not a significant factor in your diet.
Hydrogenation is the addition of hydrogen atoms in place of the double bonds between carbon

I recently saw an ingredient called "hydrogenated starch."
What is it?
Is avoidance prudent?

Let me guess -- you saw hydrogenated starch as an ingredient in a sugar-free product?
Althrough hydrogenation always conjures up thoughts of unhealthy fats, that same process is rather harmless when applied

Move over nickel-hydride, your days are done. Now, it’s nickel-hydrogen instead. This is an interesting marrying of the battery-electric vehicle (BEV, or just electric vehicle) idea and the hydrogen fuel-cell (HFC or FCV for fuel cell vehicle) concept. Both are, if you read the automotive press, vying for ownership of the alternative fuel
