Beware Of This Trans Fat Substitute

By now hopefully everyone has eliminated all sources of trans fats from their diets and are making  active efforts to read food labels for ingredients that list hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils and putting them back onto the shelves where they belong.  It may also interest you to know that there is a new substitue ingredient in town that is just as bad for you.  GASP!  Look at your labels and if you see something called interesterified oildon’t buy it.  It has the same negative effects of a trans fat, which can lower your HDL (good cholesterol) and raise your blood sugar.  Neither contribute to good health. 

Heed the warning and tell everyone you know to watch out for this dirty little food substitute.
