Avoiding Trans Fats

In 2006, all of the nutrition labels on food products are supposed to indicate trans fats. Stay away from them all! Trans fats are made by heating and re-heating oil.

Hydrogenated fats are made by adding hydrogen to oil that's been super heated so food lasts a long time (like plastic). Even partially hydrogenated is bad for you!
