Trans Fats

I've been reading up on trans fat today; it seems that most doctors are naming "trans-fatty acids" as the biggest culprit in our diets.

Here's are some clues to help you avoid them:

the categories of foods that are likely to have trans fats: 
• Fast foods - fried chicken, biscuits, fried fish sandwiches, French fries, fried apple or other pie desserts
• Donuts, muffins
• Crackers
• Most cookies
• Cake, cake icing, & pie
• Pop tarts
• Microwave popped corn
• Canned biscuits
• International and instant latte coffee beverages parents are more likely to use

To read the entire article from which this information came, click HERE.  If you read it, you'll see that yes, trans-fats even harm children.
