How To Control Trans Fats
Most trans fats in the American diet come from partially hydrogenated oils, and new labeling guidelines require the amount of trans fat be listed.
Many consumers are aware that trans fat is unhealthy, but researchers don’t yet agree on what amount is safe. There is no recommended limit or Daily Value (DV) for trans fat. For now, the message from nutrition experts is to get as little as you can while eating a balanced diet. You shouldn’t try to eat zero trans fat, because you would have to avoid foods that provide healthful nutrients and only trace amounts of trans fat.
