Healthy Heart - Eat Less Trans Fat
Trans fat contributes to the development of
heart disease - New York City's biggest killer. Many prepared foods contain
trans fat – including most store-bought baked goods, margarine and vegetable
shortening, fried foods and snack foods. The New York City Department of Health
and Mental Hygiene is launching a Trans Fat Education Campaign,
to educate consumers, city restaurants and other food service establishments
about why trans fat is bad for your heart and how it can be avoided.
