START MAKING CHANGES TODAY
READ YOUR FOOD LABELS: If a product has either High Fructose Corn Syrup (aka Sugar), or Hydrogenated or Partially hydrogenated any type oil (aka trans fats)-Do Not Consume it! Trans fats are what we need to look for now-not fat grams alone, read on: WebMD articles on trans fats
Read the list of ingredients. If you see the term "partially hydrogenated vegetable oil" near the top of the list, the food probably has a lot of trans fat. If this is near the bottom of the list, however, the amount of trans fat in the food may be small.
- Do label math. Some foods list saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats on their label. If they don't add up to the total fat in the food, the missing number is probably trans fat.
- Suspect trans fat in margarines, salad dressings, deep-fried fast food, commercial baked goods and crackers.
