An article posted yesterday (April 26, 2010)by Caroline Scott-Thomas on FoodNavigator-USA.com (http://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/On-your-radar/Trans-and-saturated-fats/Foods-with-artificial-trans-fats-should-be-considered-adulterated) hits the mark and is a must read. The article is titled, Foods with artificial trans fats should be considered adulterated.
Considering all the proof that trans fatty acids linked to heart disease North America has been slow to eliminate trans fatty acids in foods. The article mentions that in Denmark where it has been illegal for foods to contain more than 2% trans fatty acids since 2004 deaths from heart disease have dropped by 20%.
It’s time for North Americans to get serious about eliminating artificial trans fats and reducing unhealthy consuption of saturated fats.
