Trans fats banned in NYC!
Time to educate yourself on trans fats!
Trans fats are believed to be harmful because they contribute to heart disease by raising bad cholesterol and lowering good cholesterol at the same time. Some experts say that makes trans fats worse than saturated fat.
New York's Health Board votes to ban artificial trans fats from restaurants, restaurants must stop using most frying oils containing artificial trans fats by July, and artificial trans fats must be eliminated from all restaurant foods by July 2008. The ban contains some exceptions; for instance, it would allow restaurants to serve foods that come in the manufacturer's original packaging.
