Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Om Amriteswaryai Namaha, Apparently, McDonald's French Fries also contain the most dangerous food ingrediet ~ the trans fats. Some references : http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11459132/ Earlier this month, McDonald's also acknowledged that its fries contain a third more trans fats than it previously knew, citing results of a new testing method it began using in December. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/13/business/13transfat.html? ex=1265950800&en=09a73cc715672959&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland Scientists contend that trans fat, a component of partially hydrogenated oil, is more dangerous than the fat it replaced. ... and, more recently, low-carb foods, the removal of trans fats does not have a strong consumer constituency ... But that is the very process that creates the dangerous trans fat ... But scientists contend that trans fat, a component of the oil, is more dangerous than the fat it replaced. Studies show trans fat has the same heart-clogging properties as saturated fat, but unlike saturated fat, it reduces the good cholesterol that can clear arteries. A small but growing body of research has connected it to metabolic problems. The Food and Drug Administration has declared that there is no healthy level in the diet and has ordered food companies to disclose trans fat amounts on food labels by January 2006. amma's blessings, amarnath may all beings everywhere be happy, peaceful and careful !
