I am mad everytime I pick up a product which is labeled 0 trans fats
and has hydogenated fats in the ingredients. They are allowed to do
this as they have a threshold or limit on the amount that is considered
zero. Doesn't zero mean non? My doctor has told me that he wants his
patients to consume no hydrogenated fats. That these are trans fats and
are unhealthy in any amount. He told me to treat it like poison. I think
we all need to ask our representatives in congress to change the law so
that they cannot lie any longer. Also the whole grain labeling is bad and
whole wheat labeling. Much of the labeling is deceiving labeling.
My husband has never figured it out and is bringing home breads that are not
whole grain or whole wheat but he thinks they are because of the labels
Anyone agree?
