boulderjohn:But that is not an obesity issue. It is because of the other unhealthy aspects of transfats.
The reason I believe it is related, is that they were developed to prolong shelf life of donuts, chips, cookies and "junk food".--- Not a mainstay for healthy people. I would argue that these foods are related to obesity and that no one goes out for a meal of trans-fats. It is only by eating foods that use them for prolonging shelf life that one ingests large amounts of hydrogenated oils.
Eating fresh, whole foods, fruits and vegtables, it is hard to become overweight, it is only when we want to eat
"milk" shakes that contain no milk and processed cheese foods, boxed donuts and foods of this nature...they go hand in hand, IMV.
We can argue that too, if you wish. :blinking: I think you will lose, though.
You cannot divorce the issue of trans fats from obesity and the American diet.
