New Girl Scout Cookies Still Have Trans Fats - A legal loophole lets Girl Scout cookies claim to be trans-fat free -- but is this REALLY the truth? http://www.mercola.com/2007/mar/13/new-girl-scout-cookies-still-have-trans-fats.htm

 

New Girl Scout Cookies Still Have Trans Fats

 

Although Girl Scout cookies are not being marketed as having "zero trans fats per serving," they still contain partially hydrogenated oils, which is another name for trans fatty acids.

According to FDA guidelines, an item with less than 0.5 percent of trans fat per serving can be deemed "zero trans fat."

 

One serving, however, is two cookies; since many people eat more than two at a single sitting, they could therefore be ingesting significant quantities of trans fats unintentionally.Trans fats increase levels of LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and lower levels of HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol), increasing the risk of coronary heart disease.

New Girl Scout Cookies Still Have Trans Fats>>

 

Explain to me WHAT they are supposed to use? Remember that for FIFTY YEARS "the best dietiary experts" shrieked at us: Butter and milk and lard are EVIL. You must use margarine (transfats)." Are we supposed to be so DUMB, that we can not remember that? Now I take a lot at modern kids "raised on Dr.Spock wisdom" and they are all sad-looking blimps of blubber. The girls look like fat boys, the boys like fat girls. And this came "from listening to dietary experts".

You should have seen the amount of boxes sold at my job where i work by one of my co-worker who is very overweight! The cookie boxes were put in bigger boxes for some customers so to hold the many boxes they'd purchased, i saw about 9 boxes in one box for one person, maybe they were going to pass them out amongst family, i sadly hope so!~ Since i didnt buy any, the seller put one already opened box in front of my mailbox labeled "staff" so i wouldnt feel left out??

I understand..... I have some people in my own extended family who I care very much about and it kills me to see the garbage they continue to put in their mouths!!!!!! They sit there stuffing themselves w/ ice cream, pizza, and fried chicken, and ask me where I get my protein from while I am happily chowing down on my brussel sprouts!!! They will not listen to me though :-( And as adults it is their decision :-(

You might ask them where they get their protein. Yeah the chicken has a little but fried is fat, as you know. And the other things listed? Small amounts of protein but .....Where do they get theirs.

Incidentally, another excellent source of protein, howbeit somewhat expensive, is spirulina and chlorella. And still vegetable.

Americans get too much protein anyway, for if we had protein deficiencies, we'd look like people in starving nations with the distended bellies and yellowish or reddish hair~ And vegetable protein is much more healthier for us than animal protein by far from the findings of Dr Campbell book, The China Study~~
