Weekly Nutrition Tip - Unhealthy “Health Foods”
Unhealthy ‘Health Foods’
by Dr. John Berardi
Products that claim to be ‘Cholesterol Free’ and ‘Low in Saturated Fat’ often have the most trans-fatty acids. Unfortunately these are the products that most of the public thinks are ‘healthy.’ Remember, trans fats have absolutely no place in the diet! They’re the only type of fat highly associated with very negative health outcomes.

Health News — Trans fat adds more pounds than other fat
i agree, those fat free products usually have some other bad ingredient that it is high in. so misleading. it should be illegal.
Great advice… I think alot of times we think something is healthy because of it’s packaging or because of what the company selling the product tries to make us believe. We have to be careful to check and see what really is in the product before we decide to eat it!
I’m sure trans fats WILL be illegal in my lifetime.
It seems many labels are misleading on purpose.
Better be fatty and healthy - if it’s possible … :-{
