The "glazed original" was tested in March this year and it contained 29.4%
trans fats of the total fat %.

After it was made public by 'Choice' magazine, they tested them a month later
and suprise, suprise, they contained only 1/10th as much trans fat.


But there were a few other suprise offenders amongst the worst......... Four
'N Twenty pies, Pampas shortcrust pastry, McCafe iced doughnuts, Coles bakery
fresh doughnuts, Herbert Adams pasties, Donut King glazed doughnuts, and Sara
Lee snack quiche lorraine.


Good thing I don't eat doughnuts at all.

Krispy Kreme and Sara lee are the only two that are in the US that I'm
aware of. Looks like you Aussies need to write to your
representatives and start a campaign to ban trans fats in all your
foods.

While they're at it, they can ban white flour and sugar....

Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I'll even eat the trans fats if it means the food is going to taste
better.

White flour has it's uses....... especially the "OO" stuff for making pasta
:-)

Sugar has some uses as well.

I take it you don't use either?

The whole idea of any person expressing any opinion contrary to yours is
entirely beyond your scope.

In this case, cyber**** is merely parroting what I said just over a month
ago.

Cyber**** avidly reads everything I write, in the hope of bettering its
"life."

No, you're just an idiot. And nb is a malicious, petty idiot. Enjoy one
another.

15kgs of flour??!! You planning on some baking real soon, yes??


I have 3kgs of white flour, and 25kgs of white sugar on hand.

And no, I don't have a sweet tooth!!

Coffee I have either black, or white, with none..... and tea the same.

But..... you need a lot of sugar to make a decent single malt scotch ;-)
