I knew Chick-Fil-A really was from heaven

I came across this today when I was reading a "Special Report" from Wellness Council of America. This is from Dr. Steven Aldana author the The Culprit and the Cure.

I thought you might need to know...

The Good Guys
• Au Bon Pain, a 220-location café chain based in Boston, has eliminated trans fat from all of its cookies, bagels, and muffins, and is now using a nonhydrogenated margarine.
• Jason’s Deli, a 137-outlet sandwich and salad chain, has stopped using partially hydrogenated oils in all of its products.
• Panera Bread, a 773-outlet café chain that was formerly part of Au Bon Pain, is in the process of replacing all partially hydrogenated oils and plans to be trans fat–free by year’s end.
• California Pizza Kitchen has removed trans fat from deep-fried foods and is working on eliminating it from all other foods.
• In 2005 Ruby Tuesday, with some 700 table-service restaurants around the country,began deep-frying in heart-healthy canola oil.
• Chick-Fil-A fries in peanut oil in its outlets.


The Bad Guys
• Starbucks, ice-cream chain Friendly, and fried-chicken chain Popeyes indicated they had no plans to remove or reduce trans fat in their foods.

Meals at other restaurants also are loaded with trans fat. KFC’s chicken pot pie contains 14 grams of trans, and Taco Bell’s Nachos BellGrande has 7 grams.

In case this isn't registering... the goal is 0 trans fats per day. Trans fats are in most processed foods. Any food label that has partially hydrogenated vegetable oil is trans fats. A product can have 0.5g trans fats per serving and still claim 0 trans fats on a food label so you have to look at the ingredient list not just the grams of trans fats on the food label. They are worse for us than saturated fat.

"If Americans would reduce the amount of trans fats they are currently eating,it is estimated that 30,000 to 100,000 heart disease deaths would be prevented every year. That would provide a bigger improvement in public health than just about any other medical breakthrough in the
past 100 years!"- Steven Aldana
