Food manufacturers are getting around the trans fat labeling by mixing small amounts of fully hydrogenated oil with liquid polyunsaturate oils and calling “interesterified oil.” They claim that fully hydrogenated oil is healthier. Since there is less trans fat, they can sell this product to food manufacturers for use in commercial dressings, baked goods, candies and anything else that used to have partially hydrogenated oil in the ingredient list.

In plain english, interestification means mixing fully hydrogenated oil with liquid polyunsaturate oil to produce a consistency similar to partially hydrogenated oil, which is the source of trans fats. The solution to the trans fat problem; from the manufacturer perspective!

So what's the moral of the story? Read those labels folks. Food makers are in the business of not only making food, but also in the business of making money. If it has interesterified oils listed, chances are it has trans fat too.

Well, I rode my bike out to a part of the forest near our house that I've never been to. I'm glad i did, once you get past the nearly verticle slope, and the winding turns downhill and all of the trees, you end up riding next to a huge wheat field with a farm house right in the middle, it was just like a painting of a farm during a nice summer day. But, the only thing about riding my bike there, was having to walk it ALL the way back up the slope. by the time I came home I just felt like sleeping all day long, and with the heat I almost did fall asleep! and just yesterday i did it again, execpt i did it faster and it wasnt as hot. And to day i just spent my time working on a mod for Oblivion with the construction set. Well, i guess thats all I have to say for today. im off to bed!
