Donuts are something to have occasionally. A little hydrogenated oil isn’t going to kill you. It is eating the stuff everyday that does that.

I agree but I figure I get enough hydrogenated oils in foods I don't know about, such as when I go to other people's houses for dinner. I just can't be so rude as to ask my host if they took care to eliminate trans fats from their meal. So when I am able to consciously avoid them, I do.

It's a shame that Dunkin Donuts doesn't even have one donut that's made without trans-fats, or I'd have one from time to time. I'm in a Dunkin Donuts pretty much every day but all I can ever get there except my daily cup of coffee is their low-carb bagel (which is quite good).

“Donuts are something to have occasionally.”

I agree. Every second Tueday one of the managers brings doughnuts (Tim Hortons) to work for us. I take that opportunity to indulge myself with one of them - and only one. Usually a walnut crunch or chocolate glazed, both cake doughnuts. I figure if I eat right most of the time the occasional “bad” food item isn’t going to kill me.

Yeah,but some people have NO self control.Like me back in the day.I took everything to an extreme.Would knock off a dozen donuts in one sitting.Drink a whole can of chocolate syrup.Melt a cube of butter,let it cool,and then drink it.While in New Orleans,would chug down two 40 oz’s of beer and a six pack of Seven Up every night.Put down a quart of Haagen Daas in less than an hour.
So now I’m a sixty year old Health Nazi,getting ready to knock off some broccoli sprouts,raw tomatoes,raw celery and a green salad.My big vice now is a whole wheat roll.
Haven’t toched a donut in over twenty years.
