Bye Bye Billion Pounds

6

In May 2011, the use of Omega-9 Oils by the food industry removed over 1 billion pounds of saturated and trans fats from the North American diet.

• Nutritional Impact

– Removal of bad fats from diet reduces risk of cardiovascular disease – One billion pounds of “bad fats” = over 700 million pounds of trans fats and nearly 300 million pounds of saturates – Circulating plasma levels of trans-fat in Americans has dropped by 60%* since 2004

* Centers For Disease Control JAMA-AMA Feb 2012

We will hit 1.5Blbs removed in 2012
