Hi Guys,
What an bold/interesting topic! Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot about how bad trans fats are for you from the media. Do you think that also has a bad reputation, similar to saturated fats, or did pop culture get it right and is it actually bad for you?
I promise I’m not a loser that needs to comment on every new podcast, I’m just curious!

Hi Chris,
Great question!
Indeed this is one of those rare times when pop culture or the mainstream has it right on trans or partially hydrogenated fats. For the most part, they are something to be avoided. We delve into this in the Healthy Mind Fit Body book in depth. Having said that, there are such a thing as naturally occurring trans fats (such as in some meats) that are not harmful to one’s health. Also, although the notion that trans fats are bad is now mainstream, it hasn’t always been this way. 10 years ago and beyond, many fitness and health professionals were warning people about eating trans fats, and it gradually was accepted by the public at large. Food producers began to see this trend and many started taking out trans fats and advertising this (then the government tried, as it usually does, to jump out ahead of the trend with laws forcing companies to print nutrition info).
Anyway, feel free to comment here as much as you’d like, and we promise not to call you a loser!
Cheers,
Kevin
