if they contain fat, a good bet is that it is saturated. Otherwise they would go rancid on
store shelves.

The label doesn't say anything, you actually have to read it.

What does the package say it has for shortening.

I neglected to mention that the label lists lots of polysyllabic ingredients but no mention of the
word "hydrogenated" which I understand is a process which creates "trans-fat".

Yes.

Quoted message said:

Can "trans-fat" be found in any other form or can I assume there is none in this product?

Are there any fractionated oils in it? I think those also contain trans- fat.

Personally I like my fats fully stacked with hydrogen. If you're going to oxidize you might as well
do it right.

Ask yourself a better question. Is this bar the best thing that I can put into my body? Answer
probably not. It may be better than a snickers but is it the best thing you can consume. Eat to live
don't live to eat and more important don't work to support your junk food bar company. That is what
this bar is, junk food in a different wrapper. Eat an Apple, it's cheaper and all natural
guaranteed. <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...

I thought that food manufacturers are not required to put the amount of trans fats in the labels of
their products. Wasn't there a great deal of controversies over trans fats in Oreo cookies not long
ago? If I remember correctly, laws were made to require the listing of trans fats but they will be
active only a few years from now. Incidentally, I looked at the labels of some packages of ramen
noodles and I found no mention of trans fats. But I am fairly certain that they contain trans fats.

I think you're safe if you don't see the word "hydrogenated."

I just checked the label again and found :

" Fractionated Palm Kernel Oil"

Can anyone explain how meaningful that is?

Fractionation is the isolation of a particular part of the oil. They use it to increase or decrease
the proportion of certain fatty acids in order to alter the melting point and behavior of the oil
and products made from it. I'm not sure exactly how this affects the lipid profile, but it's a
physical process and does not produce trans fatty acids.

Hmm, I hope you are joking. It is my understanding that trans fats may be a cause for
heart diseases.

Trans fats aren't fully stacked with hydrogen. That'd be saturated fat.

In spite of your constant denigration of me, my flaccid advice and supercilious "debate" style, I
see you have a fine sense of humor. I slapped each of my knees repeatedly while reading your clever
quip and for several moments thereafter.

Nevertheless, you have my pity.

I see your point. I eat lots of apples but they have no protein.

Regarding being "all natural", so are nightshade mushrooms and snake venom and lots of other things
that can hurt you.

The appeal to "all natural" is the biggest bunch of bunk in the modern era.
