Save the Transfats!
FDA eyes ban on trans fats due to heart disease risk
Trans fats may be on their way out of U.S. foods.
I find it interesting that trans fats were originally supposed to be
the safe alternative to animal fat.
I remember the big PR campaign when McDonalds stopped cooking their
fries in lard and went to TF.
I am still a butter and olive oil guy.
I like olive oil, though I have yet to figure out the difference between
olive oil and superduper extra pure virgin olive oil.
Unlike common vegetable oil, olive oil is more like wine in terms of
taste and grading. Where the olives are grown, soil conditions, weather
during the growing season, etc., all affect the "quality" of the oil
when the olives are harvested and the oil is produced.
"Extra Virgin", "Virgin" and ungraded olive oils differ in terms of
their acidity, with premium, extra virgin oils having the lowest acidic
levels.
