Fit in a Year - Week 15

Giglio We left off last week just as we'd uncovered some manipulation with nutrition labels and trans-fats. If the product contains less than 0.5 g/serving, the manufacturer can claim it's trans-fat free. That means a serving size can contain 0.49 g/serving--and believe me, many things do--and it can be called trans-fat free. So, look again at the serving size. Is it really a serving size? Or would you actually eat 2 or 3 of these "servings?" Because that would then mean that you ate nearly 3 times the government allowance for trans-fat/serving! That's why you may have noticed hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils listed in the ingredients of "trans-fat free" packages... |
