BUT IF YOU SEE THE WORDS "PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OILS" IN THE LIST OF INGREDIENTS... THAT MEANS TRANS FATS. Claudia Morrison/dietician: They do lead to clogging of your arteries, clogging of your blood vessels which can lead to heart disease AND THAT'S WHY THE CENTER FOR SCIENCE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST IS CALLING ON THE FDA TO BAN TRANS FATS. Michael Jacobsen/Center for Science in the Public Interest: It appears that removing partially hydrogenated oil from the food supply would save upwards of 11-thousand to 30-thousand lives per year. TRANS FATS ARE MOST OFTEN FOUND IN PROCESSED FOODS AND BAKED GOODS LIKE COOKIES, CAKES, CHIPS, AND CRACKERS. SOME LABELS SAY TRANS FAT FREE BUT LIST PARTIALLY HYDROGNATED VEGETABLE OILS AMONG THE INGREDIENTS. THAT'S BECAUSE IF THERE IS LESS THAN 0.5 GRAMS OF TRANS FAT IN EACH SERVING, THE FDA ALLOWS A PRODUCT TO BE LISTED AS TRANS FAT FREE.
CHRISTY FEIG/REPORTING: The national food processors association says banning trans fats isn't the answer... it cites nutrition experts who say people should eat a diet low in trans fats, not eliminate them. THE FDA SAYS IT WILL REVIEW THE CSPI PETITION... FOR NOW IT IS REQUIRING ALL COMPANIES TO LABEL THE AMOUNT OF TRANS FATS IN FOOD BY 2006. IN WASHINGTON I'M CHRISTY FEIG ))
