The on-going battle against trans fats

New York has become the first city to publically "request" that restaurants stop using cooking oils that contain trans fats.

Today, most scientists and nutrition experts agree that trans fat is America's most dangerous fat and recommend the use of alternatives like olive and sunflower oils.

Sounds like a good idea, but let's be frank with ourselves. In another couple of years, most scientists and nutrition experts are going to say that olive oil causes cancer. My philosophy is, and always will be, moderation in all things.

    Actually olive oil has been known for hundreds of years to be a healthy part of people's diets. Extra virgin olive oil is particularly rich in the phenolic antioxidants as well as squalene and oleic acid, and high consumption of the foregoing in the diet provides considerable protection against colon, breast and skin cancer, coronary heart disease and aging by inhibiting oxidative stress.
