wildfan75 1 #1 December 12, 2007 Does anyone know if a food is fat free, would it be guaranteed to be trans fat free also? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shepp 0 #2 December 12, 2007 Yep. Trans Fat is a type of monounsaturated/polyunsaturated fat. So if you have 0g of fat overall, you can't have any Trans. edited because I type too fast and dont spellcheck Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward.

DangerRoo 0 #6 December 12, 2007 not always, trans fats come by the way the food is processed or made. look for anything in the ingredients that says partialy hydroginated, if so trans fat. that is scary stuff smart to being avoiding it (I.C.D#2 VP) "<3 ..Looks like breasts coming out of an ice cream cone.

wildfan75 1 #8 December 12, 2007 Yeah, I came across that earlier. Doesn't say. I didn't think it was going to be this hard of a thing to find out. I'm working on a project for work and I'm about to tell the distributor to shove their little project up their yoohoo. I am so sick of people saying "Oh, this is bad" and "That's going to kill you" and "More whole grains". Every thing in moderation people!!!! I hardly doubt that the USDA had whole grain corn dogs, whole grain cookies and whole grain chicken nuggets in mind when they said we need more whole grains in our diets.

Bolas 5 #9 December 12, 2007 Everything in moderation, including moderation. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waltappel 1 #10 December 12, 2007 "Fat Free" is not necessarily what you think. For example, non-stick cooking sprays, e.g, Pam, are pretty much nothing but fat and a propellant. Considering the propellant puts it below the threshold of being considered to have fat content, though. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildfan75 1 #11 December 12, 2007 I found an answer from someone who has a bunch of letters after their name. I think she's a registered dietian and some other nutritional stuff so I know its right... If something is "fat free", it also means that it is "trans fat free". However, if the label states "0g fat", it can contain up to 0.5g of fat per serving and still print "0g fat". So if it is 0g of total fat, it could very well have 0.5g of fat, all of which could be trans fat. So there ya have it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
