That's an interesting, and depressing, thought. My family has eaten margarine as far back as I can remember, and anything out of a box. I'm sure that I'm partially hydrogenated too! Does anybody know if it works that way? Does the body store consumed trans-fats? I've read some alarming stuff about trans-fats. They're almost inescapable these days, too. You literally have to buy nothing packaged to avoid them. Between trans-fats, "modified food starch", and the MSG in "natural spices", it's a tough walk through the supermarket... John Pavao ---------- One of my doctors who is into orthomolecular medicine told me once that trans-fats can't be metabolized by the body because the enzymes which process fats do not fit the shape of the trans-fats. If true, I wonder if my weight loss stalled because all I have left is non-burnable transfats.
