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.

The Food and Drug Administration has announced plans to have so-called
"partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs)," which are the main source of
artificial trans fats in processed foods, to be classified as food
additives. That means they won't be allowed to be used in food without
authorization of the FDA, which may effectively ban the substances.

FDA commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg told reporters Wednesday that the
action is being considered because PHOs are "not generally recognized as
safe for use in food."

The agency will allow 60 days for comments from the public and food
manufacturers, asking the latter how long it might take to reformulate
current products should the determination be finalized.

The agency pointed out some companies have voluntarily been scaling back
the amount of trans fat in foods. But it wants more to be done - an
additional 20,000 heart attacks and 7,000 deaths from heart disease each
year could be prevented by reducing trans fats, according to the FDA.

"These are significant numbers," said Hamburg.

"While consumption of potentially harmful artificial trans fat has
declined over the last two decades in the United States, current intake
remains a significant public health concern," she added in a statement.
"The FDA's action today is an important step toward protecting more
Americans from the potential dangers of trans fat."

The oils behind trans fats can be found in crackers, cookies, frozen
pies, other baked goods, microwave popcorn and other snacks, frozen
pizza, coffee creamers, refrigerated dough products (like biscuits and
cinnamon rolls), ready-to-use frostings, vegetable shortenings and stick
margarine, according to the FDA.

Consuming trans fat has been tied to an increased risk for coronary heart
disease, a condition in which plaque builds up inside the arteries, which
may lead to a heart attack. Previous research, including a 2002 report
from the nonpartisan Institute of Medicine, found a direct correlation
between eating trans fats and increased levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol,
which in turn can increase heart disease risk. The institute recommended
against eating any amount of the fats, finding they offered no health benefit.

Nanny state!

Yeah, people should be as unhealthy as possible, then all of the tax
payers can pay for their care.

Still, what is happening to freedom here?

I have no problem with what anybody does to themselves as long as it
doesn't burden ME. That said, who gets to pick and choose just WHAT
"freedoms"? Should one be free to rape or murder? How about arson? Okay
with that? Before you go on about those involve other people, so does
drug use, alcohol use, tobacco use, trans-fat use, and on and on.

You should have freedom to do pretty much what ever you want, as long as
the rest of us do not have to pay for your actions. Rape, murder. That is
someone else paying for your actions. Drugs? You want to use them? Your
choice. But we, as a society, are not picking up your medical or societal
costs. Your family can not afford to support you, you die.

But drug use DOES affect others. In many ways. Are you okay with
trawlers going to your favorite lake and scooping every living thing out
of it? All negative actions affect someone somehow.

Sure drugs affect others, but unless the drug addict is committing crimes
to get the drugs, they affect their close family, friends. Not society as
a whole. Illegal trawlers, etc, affect large parts of society, that is not
closely connected.

Horse****! I'd guess then, you'd have no problem with drug addicts
camped in your yard every morning? If you had a business, you'd have no
problem with drug addicts sleeping in your doorway?

They die, and don't camp anymore.

Die from what?


Drugs and exposure. Next.


Oh, bull****! I wonder why all of the addicts are still on Market St. in
SF? If what you said made any sense, they wouldn't be there, they'd be
dead from "drugs and exposure". Next.


Have to admit. Sometimes your logic baffles the mind.

Are the addicts "still on Market St." the same people who were there
10-15 years ago? Do addicts live to the ripe old age of 95?

Interesting statistics from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (USA
numbers):

About 570,000 people die annually due to drug use.

440,000 of them are from diseases related to smoking tobacco.
85,000 are due directly to alcohol abuse.
20,000 are due directly to the use of illicit drugs.
20,000 are due directly to prescription drug abuse.

About 43,000 people die each year in automobile accidents. Half are
alcohol or drug related.

About 32,000 people a year die of firearms related causes. Over half of
them are suicides.

I never really understood "new math". The reference point changes
therefore you are now a "tad" bit to the left?

Looking back, you used to be where you claim to be now but I think more
recently you took a hard turn to port somewhere along the line.

One thing that I just don't get:

Progressives push for entitlements and "do good" programs that from a
compassionate point of view nobody can really argue with. But the hard
core reality is that the country is going broke (or *is* broke) with
what we have in tax revenue based programs now. Other posters have
pointed out that slashing defense spending still doesn't come close to
filling the coffers to pay for what's in force now, let alone pay for
more. Same with business tax revenues and the "1 per centers".
Nailing them with high marginal taxes still won't raise enough money.
The deficits still have to be borrowed.

Somewhere along the line ... and this is where some of the Tea Party
preachings have some validity ... some very difficult decisions are
going to have to be made in terms of how much tax revenues can continue
to be earmarked for entitlements. The progressive philosophy seems to
always be "we can't afford *not* to invest in these federally funded
programs. Seems to me we can't afford much of anything ... period.

This, along with the article I referenced in an earlier post this
morning about a prediction that, unless things change, in four years
there will be more work-age people *not* working and collecting some
form of federal aid than people working and paying taxes only makes
matters much worse.

Because SF pays the highest welfare payments in the country. Those street
people get food, medical care, etc. they die sometimes. But mostly the SF
police pick them up and take them to SF General, if they look like health
problem.
