What Does “No Trans Fats” Really Mean?

Beware of a label that says “no trans fats”. What the label actually means is that per serving, there is less than 500mg of trans fat; therefore the number is rounded down to 0. Trans fats are toxic and are well documented to cause free radicals, and play a role in causing cancer, heart disease, stroke, immune system depression, liver damage, obesity, and memory loss to name a few. Keeping the milligrams below the “half-way” point is imperative for marketing. Understanding the label is imperative for health.
