"How do those cookies stay so fresh and moist after sitting on the supermarket shelves for weeks? Part of the answer is trans-fat, a partially hydrogenated fat that is used, among other things, to make crackers and cookies stay fresh tasting longer. Recently the Federal Food and Drug Administration began requiring that information on trans-fat content be included on all food labels. The reason is that it can raise “bad” cholesterol levels while lowering “good” cholesterol levels.
As part of my Be Fit Westchester initiative, www.westchestergov.com/fitness/ lists restaurants that have pledged not to cook in oils that have trans- fat. It is another weapon in Westchester County’s fight against obesity and related diseases. It is important to note that the restaurants listed here are not health food restaurants nor do they claim to serve healthier foods than other restaurants. The eating establishments listed here simply have pledged to use cooking oils that do not contain trans-fat, a move we feel is a step in the right direction." Message by Andy Spano, Westchester County Executive
FDA Labeling Requirements The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now requires food manufacturers to list trans fat (i.e., trans fatty acids) on Nutrition Facts and some Supplement Facts panels. Scientific evidence shows that consumption of saturated fat, trans fat, and dietary cholesterol raises low-density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad") cholesterol levels that increase the risk of coronary heart disease. According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health, over 12.5 million Americans suffer from coronary heart disease, and more than 500,000 die each year. This makes coronary heart disease one of the leading causes of death in the United States today.
FDA has required that saturated fat and dietary cholesterol be listed on the food label since 1993. By adding trans fat on the Nutrition Facts panel (required by January 1, 2006), consumers now know for the first time how much of all three -- saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol -- are in the foods they choose. Identifying saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol on the food label gives consumers information to make heart-healthy food choices that help them reduce their risk of coronary heart disease. This revised label, which includes information on trans fat as well as saturated fat and cholesterol, will be of particular interest to people concerned about high blood cholesterol and heart disease. However, all Americans should be aware of the risk posed by consuming too much saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol.
What is Trans Fat? Trans fat is an artery-clogging fat that can be found in vegetable shortenings, some margarines, crackers, cookies, snack foods, and other foods made with or fried in partially hydrogenated oils.
Why are they bad for you? Trans fat is made when manufacturers add hydrogen to vegetable oil--a process called hydrogenation. Hydrogenation increases the shelf life and flavor stability of foods containing these fats. Trans fats do the same thing in our bodies that bacon grease does to kitchen sinks. The stiffer and harder fats are, the more they clog up your arteries. Over time, they can "clog the pipes" that feed the heart and brain, which can lead to heart attack or stroke risk. Trans fats increase your risk of heart disease. The human body has no need for these man-made fats.
Trans fats cause significant and serious lowering of HDL (good) cholesterol and a significant and serious increase in LDL (bad) cholesterol; make the arteries more rigid; cause major clogging of arteries; cause insulin resistance; cause or contribute to type 2 diabetes; and cause or contribute to other serious health problems.
Why have Trans Fatty Acids been put into so many food products? Food manufacturers started putting them in products because they allow for a longer shelf life. Crackers, for example, can stay on the shelf and stay crispy for years in part because of the hydrogenated fats in them.
Are Trans fats bad for kids? Trans fats increase the risk for heart disease. Therefore, children who start at age 3 or 4 eating a steady diet of fast food, pop tarts, commercially prepared fish sticks, stick margarine, cake, candy, cookies and microwave popcorn can be expected to get heart disease earlier than kids who are eating foods without trans fats. While a person may not get heart disease until they are in their 40s, by starting healthy eating habits early, parents can help their children avoid heart attacks and stroke.
How can I keep my family healthy? The goal is to have as little trans fat in your diet as possible. You can start by learning to read food labels when shopping.

No "Trans-Fats" Used
Important Message: Restaurants included in the "No Trans-Fats" section have pledged to use cooking oils that
are free of "Trans-Fat and Hydrogenated Oils". However, many restaurants serve items that are not prepared in their own
restaurant (for example baked goods). To help ensure "healthy eating", ask if baked goods and ALL other items are free of
"Trans Fats and Hydrogenated Oils". Suggested by www.WestchesterTowns.com
