In the 1990s, fat was out - or at least it was kept low. Move to the 2000s
and, with the ascendancy of the low-carb diet, fat' s back in. But not really
all fat - maybe now just "healthy" fat. Increasingly,
nutritionists and researchers are discovering - and publicizing - the dangers of
saturated fats and trans fatty acids, components of many packaged, processed
foods. By January 2006, under new Food and Drug Administration regulations, all
food marketers will have to disclose the level of trans fats in their packaged
products. Already, many large companies, such as Frito-Lay, Nabisco and Tyson
Foods, have eliminated or reduced the level of trans fats in their products, and
many more are sure to follow suit. This report examines the issues behind the
efforts to reduce or remove trans fats from products, and the impact that will
have on the marketplace and the consumer.
