1) avoid products with ingredient 'partially hydrogenated': If you see the words "partially hydrogenated" in the list of ingredients, put the product back and look for another brand.

Polyunsaturated fats in vegetable oils are healthy if they are left in the vegetables. Removing fats from vegetables shortens their shelf life. To preserve their freshness, they are either processed with heat, which destroys the very unstable essential omega-3 fatty acids; or, even worse, they are converted into harmful partially hydrogenated fats. Hydrogen atoms are added to replace the unsaturated double bonds between carbons, to create a very stable, more solid fat that is similar to saturated fat but has a different chemical structure. Approximately 7.5 percent of the fat in our diet comes from partially hydrogenated fats, which have been linked to increased risk for cancer and heart attacks.
