Ask the Health Professional: An Interview with David J. Getoff, CTN, CCN, FAAIM, First Vice President of PPNF
Question: Trans fats are being removed from our foods and banned from restaurants. What are they using instead, and how could that affect my health?
Answer: Years ago, animal-based fats were the dominant saturated fats people consumed, but by far, the greatest amount of fats consumed today are the trans fats created by the food industry. They are used in millions of the foods we eat everyday, including fast food, fried foods, snack foods and baked goods.
