Trans Fats
« on: November 07, 2013, 11:31:24 am »
According to Fox 13 News the FDA has taken the first steps toward banning trans fats in our food.  Trans fats are a problem because they raise our bad cholesterol level and cause a percentage of people to need cholesterol lowering medication.  Worse yet, some folks end up having overwhelming health problems like heart disease because of excess trans fats in the food we consume.

I'd like to see trans fats replaced by omega 3 fatty acids.  That would be an ideal/best case scenario, from my point of view.   :heart:

What are your thoughts about this change?

Have a great day!
