Like most educated consumers, I got the message about the consequences of eating food containing trans fats some time ago. But with FDA’s recent announcement that food manufacturers will have three years to remove partially hydrogenated oils from their products, I decided to take a closer look at what I was eating.
When I checked my refrigerator, freezer and kitchen cabinets, I did not find one item in my home that contained trans fats—all of them had a big zero in the trans fat box.
