I believe Dave Thomas died of liver cancer. I am not sure if that has any link with trans fat. I suppose it could be possible, since the liver filters your blood, but I'm no oncologist.

Anyhow, like 2.5 said....Thomas was a decent guy. He did a lot for charity, especially adoption. Being adopted himself, his foundation does a lot to help foster children find homes.

You're correct. He died of liver cancer. The mistake was he had a Quadruple By-Pass Surgery in December of 1996.

I agree. He was a good guy. To attribute his health to his business may not be fair though. Who eats Wendy's hamburgers and fries every day? It's ok for an occasional treat but as I mentioned there are healthier choices. Most people don't get cravings for their salads though. If Wendy's can make the combos with healthier and less fat great but if they don't taste good,as you said.... people vote with their wallets.
