@ClassicExampleBand you are a very smart person ..... watch underground wellnes on here too , has great videos, i hate these ill informed videos adding to the hype of the whole anti saturated fat campaign, trans fats mimic cholesterol and is actually what gets stored on the inside of arteries because your body doesnt know what it is and cant break it down (well not easily,) but saturated fat does everything in your body and is the major anti oxidant protecting you from cancer and disease

thats BS, the reason trans fats were developed was because manufacturers were having a hard time keeping oils from going bad before getting to market, so they made the trans fat version that is bad for you but more stable....manufacturers dont want you to know about this, profit is king.

@ClassicExampleBand Surely you're not saying artificially hydrogenated fats are GOOD for you? It's already well known by doctors that there are two kinds of cholesterol, and the balance between them is more important than the total amount of either. Trans fats have the effect of disrupting this balance because they cannot be processed by the body in the way they naturally would without the hydrogen that had been artificially added.

very educational

This docto, although meaning well, is uninformed. He doesn't realize the corruption and money that our national regulatory agencies are involved in. He doesn't realize that cholesterol is not your enemy, that saturated fats are acually good for you, and that there is no solid unbiased proof that saturated fats or high cholesterol cause heart disease. Drug and food companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars lobbying and paying fees to the FDA and AHA and directly to doctors.

[ClassicExampleBand]

The American Heart Association. The same AHA that publishes guidelines by directors that receive speaking fees and consulting fees by food and drug companines so they will rubber stamp their products. Don't believe me? Google Corrupt AHA or Corrupt FDA and find out the truth about drugs, foods, saturated fats, or read Overdosed America by Dr. John Abramson. You will be shocked!

Trans fat is not for taste its to increase shelf life

[FE511bhs]

I recently stopped eating ANYTHING with trans-fats in it. And guess what I've found. The food without all the hydrogenated bullshit tastes every bit a good as the food with it. So with that I'd like to "kindly" tell all the restaurants and food companies out there to GET THESE GOOD-FOR-NOTHING TOXINS OUT OF OUR FUCKING FOOD!!!!
