Average Rating: 
Rating: - Powerful Little Book
I love this book. It's small but don't let that fool you. Each page packs a punch as the author gets straight to the point. Trans Fats: The Hidden Killer... is extremely useful in providing extensive information on TFA's (trans fatty acids), educating the consumer on how to identify products containing TFA's and most importantly, how to avoid them. This book, among others regarding our scandalous government and food industry has opened my eyes to the unfiltered version of our controlled society. ... Read More
Rating:  - A real eye-opener
Big business does not care about the public's weel-being; they are only interested in the bottom line! This little book exposes them for the greedheads they are, and reveals the truth about the toxins they are feeding us every day, everywhere. It should be required reading for every high school student in the world.
Rating: - Fantastic book, and well-referenced
A book like this is worth it's weight in gold when it comes packed with references, and this book excels with the references and research that was included.

Amazing!) That the FDA could make this approval of deceptive labeling ... Read More
Rating: - Trans Fats by Judith Shaw
The author urges us to read labels so that we are informed about
the contents of the food we eat. For instance, canned sodas can
have a widely varying amount of sugar per can. Sugar grams can
vary from 0-50 or more grams/can of soda. For diabetics, diet
soda, seltzer, bottled water and certain diet teas contain
a minimum amount of sugar-near zero grams in most cases.
Transfats and partially hydrogenated fats contain little nutrient value. They can be colorless and ... Read More
Rating: - Every living person should read this book.
For the past couple years, I have been half heartedly avoiding trans fats. But mostly in the grocery store where labels can easily be read. Now I will re-double my efforts. And I am putting my money where my mouth is. I'm buying 120 copies from the publisher to give away to our 75 employees and a few friends, with a few left to sell in our hotel restaurant.
The historical perspective was great, but was I left wanting to see a little more technical / scientific data. It is an easy, quick read ... Read More
