Pie, cookies, and other baked goods are not a health food period. I would just assume they use butter than a trans fat or some other modified fat. As far as margarine, none of them are good for you, and current reseach suggests that all hydrogenated fats are no better for you than butter. There is no such thing as having your cake and eating it too. Not all foods are health foods no matter how you try and spin it. When I have cake or some other treat I would just assume it be made with high quality ingredents and taste fantasic, than some so so knock off made with highly modified fats. You just can't make them you every day diet.

The FDA allows food manufacturers to use the label "trans fat free" or "zero trans fats" as long as there is less than 1 gram of trans fats in the product PER SERVING. I'll take natural fats over man-made any day. The key is to consume fats IN MODERATION.

Make sure you read the food labels CAREFULLY because some labels say trans fat free BUT if you read the ingredients it says: PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED ...whatever...anything that says HYDRO-ie- hydrolized, hydrogenated...DON'T EAT IT! Any food that has hydrogen added to it alters it's make up and therefore is not good for you. Take heed!

The only reason manufactures are searching for new answers to trans fats is because of public awareness. The answer is: Don't be so lazy : Don't buy the crap in the middle of the grocery store. I don't care if you are working and you have kids. It's effecting our health.It's effecting our childrens health! Wake up! Make a cake from scatch. It's so easy! Why do you think we can't remember anything anymore? It's because of all the enriched ,bleached ,partially hydrogenated,diglycerides, polyglycerol esters of fatty acids [what!] I dont' know . I'm just reading the side of a Dunca Hines Moist Deluxe cake mix.

Q for Dr Margolis: Pl clarify the last sentence of para 3- does animal fat raise LDL and not lower HDL or should it be raise HDL and not lower LDL?

This trans-fat ban in my county annoys me...who is the government to tell me what I should and should not eat?! If they're really that dangerous they should just require menu items which contain trans-fats to be labeled......when trans fats first came out they were marketed as HEALTHIER than the previous fats that were used and I think it's unfair for resturant owners and chefs to have to find subsitutes for trans-fats which do not compromise the taste of the food..... Also this article raises an excellent point...some of the replacements for trans-fats are just as unhealthy if not more unhealthy than trans-fats...... Okay I'm stepping off my soapbox now!
