Study Confirms: Trans Fats Policy Killed Millions
-For decades, saturated fats and cholesterol were wrongly vilified as the central culprit of heart disease and stroke, leading manufacturers to substitute trans fats in food products
-When New York City severely limited the amount of trans fats restaurants could use in food preparation, it opened the door for researchers to measure heart attack rates, finding the numbers dropped dramatically
-Trans fats are found in a significant number of processed foods, including those labeled “zero trans fat;” read labels for partially hydrogenated oils, including cottonseed, soybean, vegetable, palm and canola oils
