New website helps consumers understand natural trans fats
EDMONTON, June 14, 2012 /CNW/ - It's time for fresh thinking on trans fats - from health recommendations, to food choices to nutrition labeling. And now there is a new website to help.
New research has unveiled that not all trans fats are created equal. A growing amount of evidence continues to suggest that industrial trans fats are indeed a major threat and should be avoided, says Dr. Spencer Proctor of the University of Alberta. However, research has uncovered new knowledge of a separate family of "natural trans fats," found in meat and milk from ruminant animals, which are not harmful and may in fact have health-enhancing potential.
What's the difference? What does this mean for food choices? The new website, located at www.naturaltransfats.ca, is designed to help consumers and nutrition advocates navigate these types of questions.
