An Interview about Bad Fats, Good Fats, and Your Health, with Dr. Udo Erasmus, Author of "Fats That Heal Fats That Kill"


They're called "trans fats"

They're in hundreds of foods and snacks, including cookies, chips, and donuts, and studies show they're wrecking our health and shortening our lives.

Trans fats are created when food makers add hydrogen to vegetable oil, making that fat more solid and less likely to spoil on the grocery store shelves.

The FDA just announced, beginning in 2006, it will require American food manufacturers to list the trans fat content of their foods on all package labels.

Dr. Udo Erasmus, one of the world's leading experts on fats and oils, is available to discuss why the FDA's mandate is good news for the health of consumers.


Dr. Erasmus will address these and other questions:

  1. What are trans fats?
  2. Which of our favorite foods contain the most trans fats?
  3. How does trans fats consumption contribute to many diseases including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer?
  4. Which other "bad fats" should consumers be careful of?
  5. What are "good fats", and how do they actually repair health problems caused by bad fats?
  6. What are the best sources of "good fats"?
