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, fatfs back in. But not really
all fat - maybe now just ghealthyh 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.
