Trans Fats

According to this Globe article, ingesting just one gram of trans daily increases a person’s risk of heart disease by about 20 per cent. Trans fats have also been linked to increased rates of Altzheimer’s and diabetes. Yet, Canadians ingest, on average, more than 10 grams of trans fats daily.

Wow. 10 grams is huge.

The most shocking thing in this article: “An Admiral’s Feast — a platter of fried shrimp, scallops, clams and fish — at Red Lobster contains a heart-stopping 22 grams of trans fats.”
