植物奶油[1]在中国普遍使用，危害胜过杀虫剂。调查发现，在我们的食谱中，几乎随处可见用氢化油[2]（经过氢化加工的植物油）加工过的食品。而它对人体健康的威胁很大。目前，有关部门已经在针对氢化油的安全性进行更细致的调查。

学术界多次提出限制或禁用氢化油，而我们至今并未听到来自官方的任何反应，于是我们几乎每天都在"服毒"却毫不知情。不少欧美国家已经开始对氢化油停止使用；美国、欧洲相继出台了对反式脂肪酸的管理标准。而目前在我国，产生反式脂肪酸的源头--氢化植物油的发展还没有停止。

我国的情况很令人困惑：关于影响人身健康的问题食品用品等，要么是说，国际上尚无标准，所以我们很难控制；并以"连某国都没有明确规定"作为我国也规定不了的理由。现在呢，国际上已经封杀、的有害食品原料，我们这里却需要对安全性做"更细致"的调查。原来说，"洋标准"（国外标准）都不限制，我们怕什么；现在呢，"洋标准"有了，但我们不要急，我们要比"洋标准"研究得更细致，看看还有什么洋人没有发现的危害。

Plant cream, the type commonly used in China, is more harmful than pesticide. An examination revealed that almost everywhere, hydrogenation cream (plant cream which has gone through a hydrogenation process) can be found as an ingredient in many processed food products. Such cream carries a great danger to the human body's health. Relevant state departments are recently conducting a careful research, directed at the healthiness of hydrogenation cream.

Academic circles have often expressed opinions regarding the need of restricting or prohibiting the usage of hydrogenation cream, but until now we haven't heard any official response, therefore we consume 'poison' almost daily, without having any clue about it. Many American and European countries have already began prohibiting the usage of hydrogenation cream. The US and Europe have, one after the other, openly published legal standards of fatty acids which would be enforced. However, in China, the production of the source of such fatty acids, hydrogenation vegetable cream has yet to be suspended.

The situation in China makes people confused; when it comes to problems which affect people's health and the food and appliance products which create them, there are still no standards in the international level, hence its is difficult for us to control the usage of such products. Furthermore, interactions with countries, which don't employ explicit regulations, disable us (China) from implementing such regulations. Though now, the international sphere is already forcing play, wiping out the harmful raw materials of food products, so we are required to conduct a more careful investigation about products' healthiness. In the past we said that since foreign standard don't restrict usage we have nothing to fear from; now foreign restricting standards do exist, but still we see no urgency. We should rather make an even more careful research than the one behind the foreign restricting standards, and check whether there still dangers which 'foreigners' haven't discovered yet.

[1] 植物奶油 zhíwù nǎiyóu - Cream or butter made out of plant (vegetable) ingredients.

[2] 氢化油 qīnghuàyóu - A plant cream (mentioned above), which has underwent a process of hydrogenation. Such process normally converts vegetable oils into fats, by transforming the unsaturated fatty acids into saturated ones.
