Would it not suffice that reading labels and eliminating ingestion of hydrogenated/modified oils (trans fats) will reduce our chances of heart disease by 50%?
Here is a quote from Wikipedia regarding reduced heart disease and its relationship with reduced consumption of trans fat (hydrogenated and modified oils).
"Denmark became the first country to introduce laws strictly regulating the sale of many foods containing trans fats in March 2003, a move which effectively bans partially hydrogenated oils. The limit is 2% of fats and oils destined for human consumption. It should be noted that this restriction is on the ingredients rather than the final products. This regulatory approach has made Denmark the only country in which it is possible to eat "far less" than 1 g of industrially produced trans fats on a daily basis, even with a diet including prepared foods.[79] It is hypothesized that the Danish government's efforts to decrease trans fat intake from 6g to 1g per day over 20 years is related to a 50% decrease in deaths from ischemic heart disease." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_fat#Denmark
Tips: Drink a tall glass of room temperature water (water left on counter overnight) with a quarter squeezed lemon added....first thing every morning.
