Nutririon Note
Are your cupboards full of “trans fats?” These are “hydrogenated” oils you see on the ingredients lists of chips, crackers, cookies, candy, cured lunchmeats, and margarines. They’ve been modified to stay solid at room temperature, and commercial bakers love them-but your heart doesn’t. Trans fats not only raise the level of “bad” cholesterol in your body, they lower the level of “good” cholesterol. Lower your risk of heart disease. Restock your pantry with fresh fruit, string cheese, whole-grain breads, fresh deli meats and yogurt.
