Trans fats are no good for you.  In fact, they can cause some very nasty health problems.

Accoding to Mary Anne McCaffree, M.D., American Medical Association (AMA) board member:
“Trans fats have been proven to raise LDL, the bad cholesterol, while lowering HDL, the good cholesterol, which significantly increases the risk for heart disease,”.

Now the AMA wants to do something about those unhealthy trans fats.  The AMA is supporting legislation to ban the use artificial trans fats in restaurants and bakeries nationwide.

the use of rans fats in  New York and Chicago in restaurants and bakeries while California signed a law banning trans fats earlier this year.

It’s a pro and con issue.  While artificial trans fats can be extremely detrimental to health… should government involved?  Ultimately the choice is yours.

Because all fats are not the same,  the choice to replace artificial trans fats with healthy fats within you and your family’s personal life is a no brainer .

According Dr. McCaffree…”By replacing artificial trans fats with healthier alternatives, like extra virgin olive oil, we could prevent approximately 30,000 to 100,000 premature deaths each year.”

Be health smart. Start replacing artificial trans fats with healthier fats now.
