They are already doing that.

Eh, not really. They have the information buried in fine print in information sheets that they keep under the counter, and buried on their website (this info is NOT included in their nutrition guide...it's buried in the ingredients statement).

Let's make one thing clear: Partially hydrogenated oil is a poison. These are man-made chemicals that your body cannot digest, and that build up in your bloodstream until they eventually kill you. They provide no taste benefit, no nutritional value, and offer only one advantage...the same chemical properties that allow them to build up in your arteries also allow them to last a long time in a bottle or box without spoiling.

I personally don't care if people want to eat the stuff, and if they want to sacrifice their arteries to KFC that's nobodies business but theirs. My opinion is simply that if they're going to sell you something that we know, beyond ANY doubt, will eventually cause coronary heart disease, they should at least have to list it on the menu so people know what they're buying without having to ask for a special guide. Seriously, does anyone read those things?

BTW, I fry my chicken in corn oil. It tastes great, and has the added advantage that it won't kill me.

Arth, to get into your bloodstream, the stuff has to be digested.

Btw, your body "digests" man-made stuff all the time.

But the very act of digestion is HOW chemicals end up in the bloodstream in the first place! This statement makes no sense...I suppose I shouldn't ask you about high fructose corn syrup either.

P.S. Partially hydrogenated oils and HFCS don't increase the risk of CHD, but chronic poor eating habits often do. Lard and sucrose really aren't any better for you, no matter how natural they are.

Agree. I have noticed that recently many products list PHO but DO NOT list any transfat. Loop hole?
