Trans Fats

Are there any food products still with trans fats available anywhere
in the U.S.A.? I find that foods with trans fats taste much better. Any
thoughts?

I just bought and read the label of Gardetto's Roasted Garlic Rye
Chips. I never thought to look, it's just bread, right?

A 30gr serving has 10 grams of fat, 3 of them are Trans Fat.\

Those Frito Lay cheese filled crackers (Packs of 6 at the Quickie
Mart) have 3.5 grams per package.

Every thread you start you always ask the same question and the
answer is always the same: You're An Idiot.

You can get the same great taste by using coconut oil. Some people
say it's good for you, some people say it's terrible for you, so
either way you win. HTH :-)

A lot of manufacturers use it not for taste, but for shelf-life.
And it's cheaper than lard (which also suffers from short life
span).

Coconut oil, while also solid at room temp, does not have the life
span in processed foods (with questionable packaging like those
cheese crackers I mention).

Within the next five years or so, I'll be looking for the postage
stamp sized story that says "Remember all the trans fat hysteria?
Well, it turns out that that was just another flaming bag of
fearmongering dog poop that got tossed onto America's porch." When it
happens, and it will, I'll just toss it on the shelf next to:

Butter has some naturally occurring transfats. And, of course, it
tastes good, at least to most people.

None of the laws affect manufacturers use of partially hydrogenated
oils. These are all local laws. No state or city can pass a law
that affects a manufacturer's ability to engages in interstate
commerce. Most restaurants do not engage such activities to be
protected by Interstate Commerce laws.

But places like Marie Calendars *could* sell mail order pies with
trans-fats anywhere they want. And they may be exempt for in-store
sales in jurisdictions that *do* have trans-fats laws, even if they
are based in that jurisdiction. But IANAL.

I wonder if I open a non-profit, religion-based restaurant, if I
could use trans-fats or would I forfeit my right to freedom of
religion?

No one said it would kill us all, but it does kill.

Very nice metaphor. I'll try to find an excuse to use it at work
this week :-)

Aren't all natural fats trans and cis fats not natural?
So all oils are trans excepting for those who had heat threatement and hidrogenization with H2

I did forget those. Also, I am recently informed that drinking two
bottles of regular old Coca-Cola a week is now a pancreatic cancer
threat.

I felt pretty good about that metaphor myself.

Link? Having recently perused the list of ingredients on Coke
(which I never drink), I am curious about this.

The story is about regular soda in general, not specifically Coke,
although that would obviously be included.

Googling "coca cola pancreatic cancer" found a bunch of links. It seems
that it's not just Coca Cola, it's any sugar sweetened soft drink.
