Cottonseed Oil and Pregnancy

ARE YOU CURIOUS AS TO HOW COTTONSEED OIL MAY AFFECT YOUR PREGNANCY? Read More Here…
Believe it or not, cotton or byproducts of cotton are not just found in clothing but in our food as well. We spent a lot of time talking about eating Organically, and here’s another reason to consider as well. Cottonseed Oil otherwise referred to as “gin trash” is used as a Hydrogenated (trans fat or “Bad” fat) oil in snack food products such as Potato Chips, Cheetoes, even Tortilla Chips to name a few. “Crisco” is actually cottonseed oil. Not only is this oil extremely pesticide laden, but cotton crops are also one of the largest Genetically Modified Crops in the world. Not the ideal “health” food for our growing babies (especially during pregnancy), or for ourselves! So again, read labels, be a conscious consumer and whenever possible…go Organic!!
