The Trans Fat Free Kitchen : Simple Recipes, Shopping Guide and Restaurant Tips
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Just in time to meet the FDA's new labeling law, The Trans Fat Free Kitchen provides the skinnynot the boring scienceabout how confused consumers can keep their lives free from the most dangerous fat ever "created": trans fats. A study in the Lancet proved that eating a mere 5 grams of trans fats a day increased women's rates of dying from a heart attack by 50 percent (5 grams of trans fat is found in one medium order of McDonalds fries or one small donut). In January of 2006, the FDA will require that all food manufacturers change their nutritional labeling to denote when trans fats are present; however, companies can still emblazon their packaging with "Trans Fat Free" even if a food has trans fats in levels less than .5 grams a serving. Confused? Consumers will be, too. Enter The Trans Fat Free Kitchen, a simple, practical book that gives readers a real-world guide to avoiding trans fats. Filled with shopping lists, sidebars and tips, this reader-friendly book will give people: An aisle-by-aisle supermarket guide to trans fat products and healthier replacements. Tips on how to find the hidden trans fats on product labels. 2 weeks of trans fat free menus for toddlers, teens and adults. Advice on what to eat when you eat out. Trans fat free snacks that kids will actually eat. A formula to determine whether a product is healthy just because it's trans fat free.
