Homework:
With so many foods to choose from, it can be hard to navigate. And we’re gonna try to figure out what’s murky in these ingredients, because sometimes it says it has no trans fats, and it might have trans fats, not all of the foods here, not all of the foods here have trans fats in them, that’s not what we are saying, but we just have a variety here, so now this is my favorite diet, cheese. So I wanna bring in the experts now. Joining me now in studio is Alexa Towersey, she’s been on before, you’ve seen her, she’s a personal trainer and a lifestyle coach. And on Skype, from Charlotte, North Carolina is Vani Hari, the creator of FoodBabe.com, so if I call her the food babe, don’t get offended, she calls herself the food babe, foodbabe.com. So let’s, I wanna start with you, let’s begin with our stomachs and the products we have in front of us, because it’s a little bit murky, right? Because sometimes it says it doesn’t have it, but it does.
Yeah, like, when the FDA first said that you know, food manufacturers and companies had to basically put the food labeling on there and tell you how much fat and trans fat was actually in a product, even though it says 0 grams of trans fats on there, it doesn’t necessarily mean it has 0 grams of trans fat.
Ok, like this, my executive producer and I, Vickie Russell, like, this was our diet growing up, like in our lunch bill, we’ve got like bunions, or chitos or whatever, so it says 0 trans-fat, but when you go down in it, it says hydrogenated soybean oil. Does that mean trans fat?
Yeah, so basically, partially hydrogenated vegetable oils are trans fats, so the regulations state that every word, the food labels must have the tans fat amount on them, but if it is under 0.5 grams, they don't actually have to declare it, so it could say 0 grams trans fat, but if you go down to the ingredients on there, it may actually say partially hydrogenated.
Ok, so if we look at this, oh my gosh, do you remember, you remember honeybuns, right? Honey, this honeybun has a 0.5 trans fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, Vani, do they have to declare that?
No, they don’t have to declare anything less than 0.5, so here’s where the tricky situation comes in, is that if you eat more than one serving, you could get more than a gram or maybe 4 or 5 grams of trans fat in one serving, and one popular product that has trans fat is microwave popcorn , and I don't know the last time when you ate popcorn Don, but when I eat it, I don’t eat just one cup, I eat one big bowl, so this is the real concern that you know, trans fat are still allowed in foods when the label says 0.
Ok, here you go, when you said hum, because I went and bought this today, just for this pro, and I opened it, and
And you ate it?
Grosa Prez which is Grosa Flauris, Rosa Prez can we call it, Grosa and I ate this popcorn today, as soon as we opened it, as soon as we got it here, so listen, why does it, Vani, why does it taste so good and it’s so bad for you?
You know, the thing is trans fat inherently doesn’t taste that different than real fat, what trans fat has done is to allow food companies to create shelf stable oil that stays on the shelf forever basically.
But what’s wrong with that thing, what’s wrong with that?
Well, what’s wrong with that is it’s clotting our arteries, it’s causing up to 2, I’m sorry, 20,000 heart attacks a year, and up to 7,000 deaths, I mean, just a 40 calorie increase of trans fat in your diet, increases you heart rate risk, your heart disease rate risk to 23%, that’s astronomical, we should be consuming really healthy fat.
Ok, alright, so listen, if Rose and I only eat these once a month, or once every 3 months, what, have you, I mean, it’s moderation, what’s the big deal?
No trans fats are good for you, like no trans fats are good for you, you can’t argue for it, and anyway, there’s no nutritional value, and you could actually make a better alternative by yourself.
Yeah, but vodka isn’t good for you, but if I have a couple of glasses of vodka, you know, what does that?
Well, I guess no one is perfect, but I mean, the thing is people are not realizing you can actually eat the same foods, you just have to be really aware of how you are preparing it, you just have to prepare it differently. |
