This is probably old news but worth sharing

FDA announced "Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease." This can now be put on labels of foods that contain EPA and DHA omega-3.

Now I wish we could get them to have folks label products with trans fats.

Trans Fats

I was reading this post and I read the article and I am more confused. Basically I want to know what I should be looking for on the labels while on this woe, I want to know about the trans fat and cholestoral section.

avoid the word hydrogenated in the description of fats in the product.

trans fat

Is that it? LOL I thought it would be more complicated than that.

A lot of things are simple, they are just made out to be complicated so someone can make money claiming to be an expert. Esp. on atkins a lot of things are very simple, so simple in fact science is done and only way around it is for todays "nutritionalist" to make other false claims, or use fear to get you to listen to their unture propoganda.


This world is "candy-coated" litterally and figurtivly, its amazing what just a little know how and research can crack open the shell of the unknown.

Shhh don't tell lets sit back and watch these "nutritionalist" run around and throw a tizzy, becuase they want you to feel inferior to them...
