Trans fats that's a huge topic and it is

now on the label of most foods how much

trans fats are in there so manufacturers

of course are trying to sneak around

that and make it look good even when it

may not be so trans fats you want to

really really avoid these things because

there's only two things that everyone on

the planet agrees on regardless if

you're a vegetarian or a carnivore or a

low carb or high carb everyone agrees

refined sugar is bad and trans fats are

bad and when we say trans fats we're

talking synthetic man-made trans fats

there are some that occur in nature

they're actually very beneficial and

there's a video over here where I talk

more about what trans fats are today I

just want to talk about the label to

understand this you have to see that

oftentimes on a margarine or something

they'll say the serving size is 1

teaspoon 5 grams and then they say that

the trans fats are 0 grams per serving

well this could actually mean that it

has less than half a gram which means

0.499 grams is still less than half a

gram right so you could actually have a

full 10% trans fat in the product and

they still put on the front label that

it has zero grams trans fat per serving

okay and yet you're getting 10% trans

fats so there is no safe limit on these

synthetic trans fats they are poison

they've been linked to so many of our

degenerative diseases so the key to

understand is that if it has anything on

the label about height

Rajan Aden oils hydrogenated soybean oil

hydrogenated canola oil hydrogenated

anything or partially hydrogenated then

don't ever ever ever buy that product

again if it's a margarine or it's a

cookie or a cracker or a biscuit you

don't want to eat those at all in the

first place but if they have any of

these on the label then you definitely

don't want to do it go with natural

foods go with butter grass-fed butter go

with coconut oil go with extra virgin

olive oil these are the fats that your

body needs and if you eat fish or meat

then just make sure that they are

wild-caught they are grass-fed they come

from a situation where they had a normal

healthy life that was natural to that

species then if they were healthy then

they're healthy for you and do

everything that you can to stay away

from these synthetic products these are

frank and foods they have no place in

your body and they will only cause

injury so remember don't believe the

labels whatever they say about being

trans fat-free or zero grams - trans fat

if it has any of these words in there

it's a synthetic product and it is very

very unhealthy please share this

information so that others can benefit

from better health as well and if you
