What they aren't saying is they'r eliminating T-Fat or Partially Hydragenated oils from the Oreo cookies. Studies have shown that T-Fat allows plaque to bond to arteries.
It doesn't take much to block an artery. I'm not describing the large ventricals from the heart. I'm describing the tiny veins that feed the muscles to the heart. Block just one of those veins and you kill the muscle. That's called a heart attack.

Seeing as how both my parents (both deceased now) suffered though heart disease I'm very familiar with what a heart attack is.
Okay, here comes the rant: We have a nation of people who are not responsible for what they do. I'm too fat...it must be someone else's fault. I have lung cancer...it must be the tobacco company's fault. I drank, drove, wrecked my car and killed someone...it was the bartenders fault. Any problems I have are due to someone else.
LISTEN UP: Any problems you have (being fat for example) are YOUR PROBLEMS. No one put a gun to your head or a knife to your throat and MADE you eat, drink, or smoke anything you didn't want to. If it makes you sick, fat, or wreck your car, IT'S YOUR FAULT!! Stop blaming your personal short comings on everyone and everything else around you. Take some responsibility!
With Freedom comes Responsibility. Today's society doesn't want the responsibility and they're willing to sacrifice MY freedoms to shun that responsibility.
It's pathetic. It's dangerous. It will be the undoing of this country.
