S if ordinary people know this they'll avoid transfats and companies will stop using them. Problem solved.Ywan. More unsubstantiated bullshit. People have been eating that shit for 50 years. I dont see them dying like flies from it. You'll have to do better.You have been shown links repeated on this thread . To make the comment that no one has shown trans fats, let alone man produced trans fats are unsafe is just a lie. A common, all out, total lie. Link after link has guided the interested readers to view reports and studies by the FDA, Mayo Clinic and others that leave absolutely no argument about the dangers of man made trans fats. Neither you nor any of your side of the argument have been able to provide one single study to show trans fats anr safe. Not one. That happens to be the minimum requirement the FDA demands for a substance to be allowed to be added to food. It has to be shown to be safe. So stop the lying about no proof of trans fat being harmful and come up with your study showing they are safe.Ecept no one has shown it is "unsafe." Not any more than hundreds of other foods that if you eat tons of it you'll get sick. People have been eating transfats for 50- years. Life expectancy is higher. It is a non issue. It's not like arsenic.Rabbi and those on his side keep attempting to frame the debate into an argument that is not being argued. No one is in a panic and no one is trying to give the government special powers that take away our freedoms. The argument is really very simple. Should a business be allowed to put additives and various substances in our food if they can not show the additive is safe for human consumption? Can they add trace amounts of a substance and be allowed to keep it a secret? There argument is that people who answer the questions with "NO" are unreasonable and unfair. They answer yes, private for profit business should be allowed to add things that may be unsafe and in some cases add things in secret. Rabbi and his ilk are demanding the law protect business and allow them to put garbage in your kids school lunch and every thing else you feed them.Again -- all moot, since this is not a "ban".
What the fuck, don't you GET that?
Better for who? Normal people understand that heart attacks and strokes are caused by blocked arteries. They know about bypass surgery and stints. They also know that trans fats are what causes these illnesses and diseases. You are just out of touch with reality.
