Ha! You're absolutely correct. Thanks for catching that. The stuff's so nasty, I must have quarantined it in a far off corner of my awareness. I first read about the dangers of trans fat in Tom Valentine's "Search For Health Magazine" back in about 1993. And, it was another six or seven years before the mainstream media *finally* picked up on it. I was shocked that it took so long. > > http://www.westonaprice.org/knowyourfats/skinny.html > > Terrific article. But I wish the hell they'd > all get their stories straight. How is the > layperson supposed to determine who's right? It seems most laypeople just go by the current mainstream paradigm, which, when it comes to diet/health, typically reflects a corporate agenda (Big Food and Big Pharma). Others latch on to alternative paradigms, e.g., veganism, macrobiotics, traditional diet, paleodiet, raw diet, natural hygiene, blood-type diet, etc. In the marketplace of health/diet ideas, I think people just need to figure out for themselves what works best for their own physiologies. Or, what they're most willing to put up with, in the case of people who prefer convenience foods followed by convenience medications.
