Got a question...
As most of you know, I'm the "diet freak" of the group and eat a VERY strict diet. Yesterday I went to lunch with one of my coworkers and ate of course 1/2 a tuna sandwich, an apple AND for a "treat" (or at least I think it was) a bag of Baked Lays which as the bag states has 0 trans fats. While waiting for my friend I read the contents of the bag which as it stated has "corn oil". With all the news of low fat diets NOT reducing the rates of heart/cancer disease AND all of us knowing about Omega 3,6 and 9, what is YOUR opinion about corn oil, trans fat, heart/cancer risk, etc? I tried GOOGLING corn oil trans fat and got a little information and when I just GOOGLED corn oil, I only got corn producers/genetically modified growers (now THATS scary information). Just looking for input/opinions/information. Take care and God bless.
