The new FDA guidelines allow items to be labeled “trans fat free” when they can have up to a half gram of trans fat per serving.

Since ANY trans fat is like putting POISON in your body (every 2 percent increase in your daily trans fat increases your risk of cardiovascular disease by 23%)

SO GET OFF THE TRANS FAT. Read your labels for the word HYDROGENATED. And pass on any product that contains it.

Also remember that whole foods (like a real egg, a real tomato, a chicken breast, an orange or any food in its whole natural state) does not contain trans fat. So reducing and controlling your processed foods is ALWAYS a good idea.
