Trans fat: Just the facts...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) In the 1950s advocates said that the trans fats of margarine were healthier than the saturated fat (additional info and facts about saturated fat) s of butter. It has the additional effect of decreasing levels of HDL (A lipoprotein that transports cholesterol in the blood; composed of a high proportion of protein and relatively little cholesterol; high levels are thought to be associated with decreased risk of coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis), the "good" lipoprotein which helps remove cholesterol from arteries. The majority of clinical research reports have suggested that trans fats may be worse for the body than saturated fats; in fact, the 2002 summary statement by the Institute of Medicine on trans fatty acids concluded that there was no safe level of trans fatty acids in the human diet. www.absoluteastronomy.com /encyclopedia/t/tr/trans_fat.htm   (1642 words)

Federal Register - 68 FR 41433 July 11, 2003: Food Labeling; Trans Fatty Acids in Nutrition Labeling; Consumer Research ... The trans fat criterion for the claim ``saturated fat free'' was set at a level not to exceed 1 percent of total fat in the food (58 FR 2302 at 2419). Thus, the relevance of the trans intakes used in the intervention studies for the U.S. population was confirmed by the consistent findings in the prospective studies that showed an adverse association between trans intake and CHD risk among free-living U.S. population groups. Including trans fat as a mandatory component of nutrition labeling will allow consumers to choose foods that will reduce their intake of trans fat, along with saturated fat, within the recommended intake level for total fat in a manner that is consistent with the most recent dietary guidance. www.cfsan.fda.gov /~lrd/fr03711a.html   (18290 words)

FDA/CFSAN - Questions and Answers about Trans Fat Nutrition Labeling Trans fat can be found in some of the same foods as saturated fat, such as vegetable shortenings, some margarines, crackers, candies, cookies, snack foods, fried foods, baked goods, and other processed foods made with partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. Estimates of the average trans fat intake of U.S. adults from food groups (e.g., cakes, cookies, shortening, etc.) are described in the economic analysis for FDA's final trans fatty acid labeling rule, Trans Fatty Acids in Nutrition Labeling, Nutrient Content Claims, and Health Claims published July 11, 2003 (68 FR 41434 at 41468-41470). A: The trans fat nutrition labeling rule responds, in part, to a citizen petition from the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), and is based on recently published human studies and health expert advice on trans fat. www.cfsan.fda.gov /~dms/qatrans2.html   (4723 words)

ConsumerReports.org - Trans fat 3/03   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) If manufacturers sharply reduced or eliminated trans fat in their foods and replaced it with beneficial unsaturated fat, there could be significant reductions in cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, Willett believes. While the amount of trans and saturated fat in many of the other tested foods may seem low, keep in mind that serving sizes are often quite small. Trans fat turns up in many margarines and shortenings; deep-fried fast foods and some deep-fried snack foods; many commercial baked goods such as pies, cookies, and crackers; and various other common packaged items. www.consumerreports.org /main/detailv2.jsp?CONTENT<>cnt_id=300681&FOLDER<>folder_id=162689   (1943 words)

Revealing Trans Fats Trans fat can be found in vegetable shortenings, some margarines, crackers, cookies, snack foods, and other foods made with or fried in partially hydrogenated oils. In addition, parents should be aware that fats are an especially important source of calories and nutrients for infants and toddlers (up to 2 years of age), who have the highest energy needs per unit of body weight of any age group. While scientific reports have confirmed the relationship between trans fat and an increased risk of CHD, none has provided a reference value for trans fat or any other information that the FDA believes is sufficient to establish a Daily Reference Value or a %DV. www.fda.gov /fdac/features/2003/503_fats.html   (1741 words)

Trans Fatty Acids 101 - What and Where? Trans fatty acids are found in numerous foods - commercially packaged goods such as cookies and crackers, commercially fried food such as French Fries from some fast food chains, other packaged snacks such as microwaved popcorn as well as in vegetable shortening and some margarine. Before the invention of trans fatty acids, we cooked food with lard, palm oil or butter etc which are high in saturated fats. Please also note that trans fats are also found in many fried foods such as chicken nuggets and french fries from the fast food chains as they often use vegetable oil containing trans fats. www.healthcastle.com /trans.shtml   (604 words)

FDA/CFSAN - Trans Fat Now Listed with Saturated Fat and Cholesterol on the Nutrition Facts Label By adding trans fat on the Nutrition Facts panel (required by January 1, 2006), consumers now know for the first time how much of all three -- saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol -- are in the foods they choose. Trans fat can often be found in processed foods made with partially hydrogenated vegetable oils such as vegetable shortenings, some margarines (especially margarines that are harder), crackers, candies, cookies, snack foods, fried foods, and baked goods. To lower your intake of saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol, compare similar foods and choose the food with the lower combined saturated and trans fats and the lower amount of cholesterol. www.cfsan.fda.gov /~dms/transfat.html   (2385 words)

[No title] Trans is created when oils are "partially hydrogenated." Hydrogenation is what turns liquid oil into Crisco or stick margarines. Our tests show that, thanks to their trans fat, the french fries sold at McDonald's, Arby's, and Hardee's have roughly as much artery-clogging fat as if they were fried in lard. Here are some of the foods we tested for trans fat, plus a selection of other foods for which we could obtain or calculate trans numbers. www.cspinet.org /nah/septrans.html   (1837 words)

2003.07.09: HHS TO REQUIRE FOOD LABELS TO INCLUDE TRANS FAT CONTENTS Improved Labels Will Help Consumers Choose ... Reducing the intake of trans fat and saturated fats is recommended by the Federal Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Trans fat occurs in foods when manufacturers use hydrogenation, a process in which hydrogen is added to vegetable oil in order to turn the oil into a more solid fat. Trans fat is often but not always found in the same foods as saturated fat, such as vegetable shortening, some margarines, crackers, candies, cookies, snack foods, fried foods, baked goods, salad dressings, and other processed foods. www.hhs.gov /news/press/2003pres/20030709.html   (1118 words)

What Every Consumer Should Know About Trans Fatty Acids A: Trans fatty acids (or “trans fat”) are fats found in foods such as vegetable shortening, some margarines, crackers, candies, baked goods, cookies, snack foods, fried foods, salad dressings, and many processed foods. A: It’s important to know about trans fat because there is a direct, proven relationship between diets high in trans fat content and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels and, therefore, an increased risk of coronary heart disease – a leading cause of death in the US. Trans fat while pervasive in many of the foods we eat is not “essential” to any healthy diet. www.fda.gov /oc/initiatives/transfat/q_a.html   (345 words)

FDA Acts to Provide Better Information to Consumers on Trans Fats Health experts recognize that eliminating trans fat entirely from the diet is not practical because it is unavoidable in ordinary diets. If consumers were to modify their diet by entirely eliminating trans fat, they would run the risk of getting inadequate protein and other nutrients important for a healthy diet. Consumers can reduce the amount of trans fat in their diets by limiting foods that contain “partially hydrogenated”; vegetable oils that are found in some margarines, shortenings, crackers, candies, baked goods, cookies, snack foods, fried foods, salad dressings, and other processed foods. www.fda.gov /oc/initiatives/transfat/backgrounder.html   (1082 words)

Transition I had heard of this "trans" thing, and I knew what FTMs (female-to-male trans people) were, and they fascinated me. See, in my mind, being trans was the next step past butch. I eventually dismissed the idea of being trans myself, but I decided that I must be what some people call a "tranny chaser," or someone who is attracted to transpeople. I met the other members of the trans group, who welcomed me with open arms, despite my fears of being "not trans enough." One night, two of the members had a dinner at their house, and L let me raid her closet for boy clothes (and some really nice guy's clothes, too)! www.geocities.com /chyzar827/trans.htm   (2912 words)

Trans Fat Overview However, it is important to note that the FDA is extending the trans fat deadline for those companies who seek a petition.  Therefore, consumers should be aware that just because they do not see trans fat on the label of the product, does not mean that the product is trans free Trans fat (also called trans fatty acids) is formed when liquid vegetable oils go through a chemical process called hydrogenation, in which hydrogen is added to make the oils more solid.  Hydrogenated vegetable fats are used by food processors because they allow longer shelf-life and give food desirable taste, shape, and texture.  The majority of trans fat can be found in shortenings, stick (or hard) margarine, cookies, crackers, snack foods, fried foods (including fried fast food), doughnuts, pastries, baked goods, and other processed foods made with or fried in partially hydrogenated oils. www.americanheart.org /presenter.jhtml?identifier=4776   (389 words)

TransFreeAmerica   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) Treating vegetable oil with hydrogen gas results in oil with dangerous, heart-disease-promoting trans fats. Though small amounts of trans fats also occur naturally in milk and beef, factory-created trans fat is artificial and totally unnecessary in the food supply. Partially hydrogenated oils are the leading source of trans fats in Americans' diets, and leading epidemiologists estimate that trans fats cause upwards of 30,000 premature deaths each year. www.transfreeamerica.org   (334 words)
