See article keywords and concepts |  Obviously, it could have made these changes years ago, but it chose to do so only as the deadline for trans fat food labeling approached, so I'm not giving Kraft the thumbs-up on ethics, although it is a step in the right direction to eliminate trans fats from most of its food products.
Virtually all food manufacturers are reformulating their products now to be free of trans fatty acids. |
Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S.
See book keywords and concepts |  The University of Florida at Gainesville found trans fat levels as high as 4.6 percent in commercial canola oil, even more than in margarine.) And canola oil used in foods (whose manufacturers usually proclaim "made with canola oil!" as loudly as the label will allow) is even worse. Canola oil hydro- 2 genates beautifully, making it ideal for shelf life (/> but not for your life—the hydrogenation just increases the trans fat content.
Pescatore knows a lot about oils, and in fact, the section on cooking oils alone is an excellent reason to buy The Hamptons Diet. |
Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S.
See book keywords and concepts |  There's actually one trans fat, believe it or not, that's found naturally and is one of the most beneficial fats you can consume. It not only has an impressive research history showing it has anticancer properties, it also has an emerging body of research behind it showing it's quite effective for fat loss. The name of the trans fat in question? CLA.
I'll never forget seeing a series of photos years ago that came out of an early study on overweight rodents given CLA in their diets. |
Bradley J. Willcox, M.D., D. Craig Willcox, Ph.D., Makoto Suzuki, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  While listing the trans fat content in food labels has long been up to the manufacturer's discretion, a report from the Institute of Medicine, concluding that there is no safe level of trans fats in the diet, finally prompted the Food and Drug Administration to require that trans fats be listed as part of the Nutrition Facts food label.48 This decision came after several years of negotiations. Until trans fats are labeled, which will be in the year 2006, it still takes a little detective work to uncover their presence. The simplest approach: Check the ingredient list for "hydrogenated oils. |

See article keywords and concepts |  They do this by hiding ingredients (such as hiding MSG in yeast extract, or by fiddling with serving sizes so they can claim the food is trans fat free, even when it contains trans fats (the new Girl Scout cookies use this trick).
Besides avoiding these foods, what else can consumers do to reduce their risk of cancer? The main things are simple: Eat unprocessed foods and base your diet largely on plants. Consume foods that have omega-3 fats and other essential fatty acids. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables; many common ones have known cancer-fighting properties. | | Since cancer needs high blood sugar and low oxygen levels, a person with lots of belly fat who just can't seem to put down those trans fat cookies or crackers (also loaded with flour and simple sugars) presents the ideal environment for the development of cancer.
The acrylamide factor
Since trans fats are often formed during the frying process, we should also talk about acrylamides. Acrylamides are not added into food; they are created during the frying process. When starchy foods are subjected to high heat, acrylamides form. |
Bruce Fife and Jon J. Kabara
See book keywords and concepts |  About 15 percent of the fat in the typical Western diet is trans fat.
Trans fatty acids affect more than just our cardiovascular health. According to Mary Enig, Ph.D., when monkeys were fed trans fat-containing margarine in their diets, their red blood cells did not bind insulin as well as when they were not fed trans.13 This suggests a relationship with diabetes. Trans fatty acids have been linked with a variety of adverse health effects including cancer, heart disease, MS, diverticulitis, complications of diabetes, and other degenerative conditions. |
Steven V. Joyal
See book keywords and concepts |  Generally, no more than 10 percent of your calories should come from saturated and trans fat (and your goal should be to minimize the amount of trans fat in your diet as much as possible), and since people with diabetes are at high risk for or
BENEFITS OF DIETARY FATS
Essential fatty acids
?help promote healthy nerve function
?help your body absorb the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K)
?keep your brain in good running order; your brain is composed of 60 percent fat and needs an optimal balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to function
? |
Elaine Magee
See book keywords and concepts |  The good news is that new labeling laws let you know how much trans fat is in a product. And by limiting full-fat dairy products, higher-fat red meats, poultry skin, stick margarine (except cholesterol-lowering types), cookies, crackers, and fast-food french fries, you can significantly reduce your risk of heart disease. Try to keep saturated fat to less than 7 percent of your total calories per day (about 15 grams for a 2,000-calorie diet), and try to eliminate trans fats completely. |
Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, CCN
See book keywords and concepts |  If "partially hydrogenated" oils or fats are included on the label, the food contains trans fat. Knowing how much is the challenge. If the label claims a total of six grams of total fat and only three grams are accounted for in the saturated, polyunsaturated and monosaturated fat counts, that leaves three grams of fat unaccounted for. Most of that will be trans fat. However, food labels are notoriously inaccurate, often misreporting the amount and kinds of fats in the product.

See book keywords and concepts |  Avoid nuts roasted in trans fat.
?Keep nuts in a dry, cool, dark place, or place them in a container in the refrigerator so oils in them won't turn rancid.
?Keep mixtures of different chopped nuts in the refrigerator to use in cooking.
?Remember that nuts are high in calories and omega-6 fats, so be careful not to overconsume.
?Eat plenty of the "best nuts" (walnuts and macadamia nuts have a very low omega-6-omega-3 ratio: 4-6:1. An ideal ratio is 1-4:1).
?Hazelnuts produce net antacid after digestion.
?Flax seed is loaded with alpha linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid. |

J. Douglas Bremner
See book keywords and concepts |  Don't eat processed and junk food that has artificial ingredients like partially hydrogenated oils ("trans" fat). trans fat is artificially produced oil that is widely used in restaurants and in the production of processed foods. It is present in many potato and corn chips, crackers, doughnuts, french fries, and other processed foods. It has been likened to putting sand into the gears of a watch; it will slowly wear your body out over time. |
Mark Hyman, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  The reason the food industry created trans fats is that these fats are very resistant to oxidation (or going rancid), giving foods with high trans fat content a very long and stable shelf life. Trans fats include partially hydrogenated fats, margarine, and shortening; today they can be found in every aisle of the supermarket. You can keep that jar of Crisco in your cabinet for thirty years and still make a fine pie crust with it.
But just as bacteria (which make food go bad) have difficulty in digesting these fats, so do humans. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The strongest dietary factor behind high cholesterol levels, in fact, involves the saturated fat and trans fat we eat. (Dietary cholesterol and obesity are also related to LDL levels, but to a lesser extent.) You might be thinking, Tell me something I don't know!
Well, how about this: New research suggests that even if your cholesterol isn't high, too much saturated fat may raise the risk of diabetes and some types of cancers, as well as ovarian disorders and other health problems.

See book keywords and concepts | | Both saturated fat and trans fat greatly increase levels of inflammatory chemicals.
•Get 25 grams (g) of fiber daily. A high-fiber diet helps control appetite and reduce inflammation. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that people who consume the most fiber have lower levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a measure of inflammatory chemicals in the body. All plant foods contain some fiber. Among the best sources are beans, whole grains and vegetables.
•Eat colorful fruits and vegetables. Get at least nine servings daily. | | Reducing total fat didn't make any difference to heart disease, but women who chose to reduce their saturated fat or trans fat had a significant reduction" in heart disease, Rossouw says.
"With heart disease, it's very clear that total fat isn't enough. We've got to focus on specific types of fat," he adds.
Dr. Elizabeth G. Nabel, director of the NHLBI, says, "We really think these findings are good news. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The effect of the A278-C promoter polymorphism in the CYP7A1 gene on responses of plasma lipids to an increased intake in dietary cholesterol, cafestol, saturated fat, and trans fat was investigated in 496 normolipidemic subjects [274]. These responses were measured in 26 previously published dietary trials. After adjustment for the APOE genotype effect, AA subjects consuming a cholesterol-rich diet had a significantly smaller increase in plasma HDL cholesterol than did CC subjects. |
Gabriel Cousens
See book keywords and concepts |  Instead of a "moderate" diet, the Culture of Life cuisine is a prudent, common-sense diet of extremely low-glycemic, low-insulin-index foods, organic, high mineral, hydrat-ing, live, with no animal or trans fat, 15-20 percent high EFA plant-based fats, high fiber, and thoughtful, prudent food intake.
The healing of diabetes at the pandemic level requires the healing of the ecology of the planet and the consciousness of the people. To heal oneself requires the ability to love oneself enough to have the intention to reconnect with the Culture of Life which is our birthright. |
Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S.
See book keywords and concepts | | But here's the thing: The cholesterol in your food has minimal effect on the cholesterol in your blood, at least for the vast majority of people. trans fat (and to some extent, saturated fat) raises blood cholesterol far more than cholesterol in the diet. One well known study, published in 1996 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, actually tested a high-shrimp diet at Rockefeller University. They fed the subjects 300 g of shrimp a day. |

See article keywords and concepts |  The next thing that you can do is stop eating trans fat (trans fatty acids) -- that means avoid all fried foods. Fried foods just do not belong in the human diet. And if you're already avoiding red meat and dairy products, then avoiding fried foods is probably a fairly easy step for you. Fried foods are incompatible with health, and if you choose to eat fried foods at any time in your life, even just one meal a week, you're going to have unhealthy cholesterol levels as a result.

See book keywords and concepts |  Nutritional: Caused by food allergies, refined and highly processed foods, mineral-depleted food (grown in poor soil), nutritional deficiencies, alcohol, drugs, and free radicals (natural byproducts of cell metabolism caused by eating trans fat).
Physical: Caused by high blood pressure, strenuous physical activity including exercise, surgery, trauma, starvation, lack of oxygen, intoxication, drug use, sleep deprivation, severe illness, infection, being pregnant or having a new baby, and chronic overstimulation. |
Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey
See book keywords and concepts | | Within that fat allowance, no more than 7% to 10% of total energy intake should come from saturated fat, trans fat should be reduced, and cholesterol intake should be less than 200 mg/day [7].
E. Protein
The diet of well-nourished women in the preconception period and throughout most of pregnancy has a significant effect on birth weight; and proteins are the macronutrient that has the greatest impact. Cuco et al. demonstrated that a 1-g increase in maternal protein intake during preconception and in the 10th, 26th, and 38th weeks of pregnancy leads to a significant increase of 7.8-11. |

See book keywords and concepts |  They contribute too much of the bad—sodium, trans fat, calories—and too little of the good—nutrients, fiber, polyphenols. Unfortunately, these foods are like the Sirens luring Odysseus to the rocks: They're always calling out to us. Ice cream . . . chips . . . cookies! It's very hard to resist them, especially at those low points in the day when you're most vulnerable. You know yourself: Are you really going to ignore the doughnuts at 10:00 p.m. and you're in the mood for some mindless munching? |
John J. Ratey, MD
See book keywords and concepts |  The brain is made up of more than 50 percent fat, so fats are important too, as long as they're the right kind. trans fat, animal fat, and hydrogenated oils gum up the works, but the omega-3s found in fish are enormously beneficial. Population studies have shown that countries in which people eat a lot of fish have lower incidence of bipolar disorder. And some people use omega-3s as a stand-alone treatment for mood disorders and ADHD. One study showed that people who eat fish once a week slow the yearly rate of cognitive decline by 10 percent. |

Taking legal action against the food industry isn't new. For example, in 1983 the Committee on Children's Television, Inc., various consumer groups, and individuals brought a lawsuit in California against General Foods for deceptively advertising breakfast cereals such as Cocoa Pebbles, Sugar Crisp, Alpha Bits, Fruity Pebbles, and Honeycomb to children. Plaintiffs argued that calling them "cereals" was misleading. |

See book keywords and concepts | | No effects of the polymorphism were found in the saturated and trans fat interventions. Therefore, the CYP7A1 promoter polymorphism had a small but significant effect on the increase in plasma HDL-C and plasma total cholesterol after an increased intake of dietary cholesterol and cafestol, respectively.
Another study revisited this issue in a smaller number of selected subjects [275]. |
