[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 183460"] Gosh, I had forgotten I posted this. Sorry. :blusher: Thanks, Marg. I assumed the fat not listed was poly- or monounsaturated, but I wasn't sure. Didn't know if there was some other kind of fat lurking out there that I wasn't aware of. And you do have to watch those serving sizes. That's where you get into trouble. And from what we are lead to believe, Trans Fat is *more* unhealthy than saturated fat. Since a study was widely publicized last year that just 2g of saturated fat per day (can't remember the per number of calories) tripled the heart attack risk, most companies have removed it - or greatly reduced - the amount of trans fat in their products. And I always read the labels and if it has 'hydrogenized' anything, I don't buy it as that means trans fat (US law only requires anything .5g or more per serving to be identified...so a product can have .49g of trans fat and still label it as 0g). Interestingly enough, I picked up the medical magazine with that study article in it at my daughter's pediatrician's office the day I had my heart attack. [/QUOTE]
