Nothing can take the place of exercise and fresh food. Hope no one here is eating 3x a day at fast food places.
"Trans fat is the common name for a type of unsaturated fat with trans- isomer fatty acid(s). Trans fats may be monounsaturated or polyunsaturated.
Most trans fats consumed today are created industrially through partial hydrogenation of plant oils a process developed in the early 1900s and first commercialized as Crisco in 1911. The goal of partial hydrogenation is to add hydrogen atoms to unsaturated fats, making them more saturated. These more saturated fats have a higher melting point, which makes them attractive for baking and extends their shelf-life. Another particular class of trans fats, vaccenic acid, occurs naturally in trace amounts in meat and dairy products from ruminants.
Unlike other dietary fats, trans fats are neither essential nor salubrious[1] and, in fact, the consumption of trans fats increases one's risk of coronary heart disease[2] by raising levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol and lowering levels of "good" HDL cholesterol. [3] Health authorities worldwide recommend that consumption of trans fat be reduced to trace amounts. Trans fats from partially hydrogenated oils are more deleterious than naturally occurring oils.[4]"
Good to get rid of them but what is replacing them? I would rather walk or run a mile or so and have some real butter added to my food.
"Other sources (such as The Weston Price Foundation[2]) have well researched concerns about the possible heath risks of Canola oil: animal testing that indicates growth retardation, a higher incidence of heart lesions of the myocardium, decrease in platelet count and increase in platelet size, vitamin E deficiency, high blood pressure, and lowered life spans. In many of these studies, when saturated fats were added to the diets, health improved. There is also the concern that the modern process of extracting the oils with high-pressure mechanical pressing along with industrial solvent residue in the oil such as Hexane in itself can be toxic. These heat, high pressure and solvent processing methods[3] are common with most contemporary vegetable oils. Since omega-3 fatty acids rapidly become offensive smelling and subject to rancidification when processed with high heat and oxygen, the oil is then subjected to a deodorizing process which removes much of the Omega-3 and replaces it with trans fats. The actual claims of the Omega 3 content of processed canola oil have been challenged by a study[4] done at the University of Florida which found trans fat levels of up to 4.6 in commercial canola oil as opposed to the Canadian Governments assertion that the oil has 0.2 percent trans fat. Because of concerns about inhibited growth in human infants, canola oil is not permitted in infant formula by the FDA."
Not good for babies. No wonder you all are so short these days.

i don't care what kind of oils they're using. the fries are delicious. the fried pies are delicious. if you don't have the self control to not eat them every day, you deserve to be a fat ass, and mcdonald's deserves your money. sorry.
mcdonalds is shit.
there's a website where you can send in questions and they'll answer them. every 3rd question asks if they really use beef, and what they put in it. mcdonalds claims top of the line beef and a pinch of salt and thats it. im guessing thats why people keep asking...

people will do anything to direct blame anywhere besides themselves.
in other words, "my weight problem is a direct result of":
[a] the face that i am pathetic and can't control my fat gut,
or mcdonald has the incorrect lipids in which they fry their food
like any pernicious but delectable foods, the connection between obesity, lack of self control, and excessive intake is not one that it takes a genius to draw. heart disease is something that can be caused by a great number of sources, and moderation is the order of the day in this case as far as i'm concerned--not complete elimination of "bad" sources of cholesterol.

I think you have your left and right mixed up?
beelzebozo said:
The reason why people don't like trans-fats is because it's a man-made fat that significantly increases the risk of heart disease. It's not something like saturated fats that do have a purpose but should be consumed in moderation. Every diet should have absolutely 0 transfats.
Transfats if anything reduce flavor. Sort of like like how pesto that uses soybean oil instead of olive oil totally lack flavor.
