Trans Fats
Are there any food products still with trans fats available anywhere
in the U.S.A.? I find that foods with trans fats taste much better. Any thoughts? Cheers! Chuck Kopsho Oceanside, California |

I just bought and read the label of Gardetto's Roasted Garlic Rye Chips. I never thought to look, it's just bread, right? A 30gr serving has 10 grams of fat, 3 of them are Trans Fat.\ Those Frito Lay cheese filled crackers (Packs of 6 at the Quickie Mart) have 3.5 grams per package. > I find that foods with trans fats taste much better. Any thoughts? Every thread you start you always ask the same question and the answer is always the same: You're An Idiot. -sw |

HTH :-) A lot of manufacturers use it not for taste, but for shelf-life. And it's cheaper than lard (which also suffers from short life span). Coconut oil, while also solid at room temp, does not have the life span in processed foods (with questionable packaging like those cheese crackers I mention). -sw |

None of the laws affect manufacturers use of partially hydrogenated oils. These are all local laws. No state or city can pass a law that affects a manufacturer's ability to engages in interstate commerce. Most restaurants do not engage such activities to be protected by Interstate Commerce laws. But places like Marie Calendars *could* sell mail order pies with trans-fats anywhere they want. And they may be exempt for in-store sales in jurisdictions that *do* have trans-fats laws, even if they are based in that jurisdiction. But IANAL. I wonder if I open a non-profit, religion-based restaurant, if I could use trans-fats or would I forfeit my right to freedom of religion? -sw |

The story is about regular soda in general, not specifically Coke, although that would obviously be included. http://rawstory.com/2010/02/study-li...reatic-cancer/ |

It seems that it's not just Coca Cola, it's any sugar sweetened soft drink. |

I once had a relative who was in her 90's and one day, her sister gave her a hard time for eating bacon. I told them both that if I lived to be in my 90's I would eat a whole pig dipped in mayo while smoking a cigar. Moderation is for Monks! George L |
