• The Canadian Press is reporting on a new poll released today that finds the people of Canada have become more aware of the dangers of trans fats in the foods they eat and a large majority are choosing to eliminate them from their diet altogether.
• Trans fats are being blamed as the culprit in many cardiovascular ailments, including raising bad cholesterol, lowering good cholesterol, and clogging up your arteries.
• Also known as trans fatty acids, this is the kind of fat that is created when liquid oils turn into a solid.
• It is used to help extend the shelf life of products and keep them tasting as good as possible for when the consumer purchases them for consumption.
• Of the people who wanted to change their buying habits regarding trans fats, 71 percent were professionals, 72 percent had a college degree, and 70 percent earn more than $80,000 per year in total household income.
• Conversely, only 55 percent of respondents who had a high school education, 52 percent of those who earn less than $20,000 annually, and 42 percent of manual workers stated that they would be changing their habits.
• Fat is your major fuel source when you are livin' la vida low-carb and even helps your body absord certain vitamins.
• While the Atkins diet and other low-carb programs have long been blasted by health "experts" and the media for containing too much fat to be considered healthy, the fact of the matter is these trans fats should be a much greater concern to them.
• Foods like packaged cookies, snack crackers, baked sweets, and processed foods are all avoided on a low-carb lifestyle, but are a staple for most kids in the United States.
