Why can't these corporations just provide healthy foods instead of wasting their money trying to create new ways to kill us. Very good question.

Do you truly believe food corporations are trying to kill their customers? That would make for a seriously flawed marketing strategy.

I didn't say it first. I was quoting another post upthread.

That was my point. It doesn't sound like Interesterified fats have really been tested fully. The tests that I have seen mentioned think these are horrible for diabetics.

Can you say tobacco industry? I knew you could.

It should also be noted that they are not 'marketing' the negative impact. The fact that they hide their trans fats under the guise of if they make the serving size small enough they can keep the trans fat under .5

Why are so many sticking high fructose corn syrup in their products? And now we get interesterified oils which can raise your glucose levels 20%. The corporations haven't tested their products enough and consumers shouldn't have to be guinea pigs.

If the companies were up front and honest about it they would list the trans fats by volume so people could easily see that a product claiming to have zero trans fats really does have trans fats. If they can't be honest about trans fats why trust them with interesterified oils, which as the study from 2005 shows is worse than trans fats. A study done 6 years ago and has been shown to be worse than trans fats, do you really think these food corporations care about you? $$$$
