Trans Fat, Just How Bad is this Shit?

[donkeybucks]

Article I read today says that hydrogenated oils used my most food manufactures is an absolute dead killer. They started this trend of messin' around with oil's some years back in order to cut costs in food manufacturing. Problem is that it messes up the natural oils chemically and our bodies treats it like its cancer. Our bodies are not made to digest this stuff.
Natural fats and oils are healthy for us. They actually curb our appetites and help lower our cholesteral levels. Hydrogenated oils do the opposite. Hydrogenated oils make us fatter and more hungry.

Shit, I can't eat anything anymore.

A few Countries in Europe have taken the steps to Ban it outright in food, I know in Canada several MPs have put forward the motion but it's hard to say where it will end up but it's bad stuff.

This is a very good question. I don't know the answer. BUT, Kentucky Fried Chicken has a big lawsuit pending against them for the type of oil they use to fry chicken. May not be about trans fat, but what they use is supposed to be bad for you. (And I've eaten lots of it in my life)

I was listening to a radio show this morning and they said KFC cooks all their food with trans fat.......

For Fried Chicken, I prefer Popeye's or Church's (when I can find one). But KFC has been the King for a long time!

Been promoting the disuse of this oil for 10+ years, glad the public is finally becoming aware of its health dangers.

READ ALL LABELS.

I think oreos have trans fats and they are one of the worst foods you can eat.

I think oreos have trans fats and they are one of the worst foods you can eat.

A group sued Kraft which is own by Philip Morris, (They are out to kill people) to force them to stop marketing the Trams Fat laden Oreos to Children. Kraft agreed to Reduce and remove the trans fat from the Cookies
