MAKE SMART DECISION ABOUT THE FOODS IN YOUR HEALTHY EATING PLAN
Posted by: jhanok in Uncategorized, health on March 4th, 2010
Learn the facts to make informed choices about the foods you eat. Use the nutrition facts label as a guide to making smart food choices.
And, remember, a healthy eating plan is one that:
• Is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt, and too much added sugar.
• Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products.
• Included lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs and nuts in a variety of meals.
HOW MANY GRAMS OF TRANSS-FAT ARE RECOMMENDED PER DAY
If you are eating 1,8000 kcal/day, 1 percent is 18 kcal, which would equal 2g of trans fat.
Since U.S. food and Drug Administration has required that trans fat be listed on the Nutrition Facts panel since January 1, 2006, no one can easily track the amount of trans fat consumed each day.
Be cautious in checking food labels, as food manufacturers are allowed to list foods with trans fat content less than 0.5g (1/2 g) as 0 g (zero) of trans fat on the Nutrition Facts panel.
You may see a few products that list 0 g trans fat on the label, while ingredient list will have “shortening”, “partially hydrogenated vegetable oil” or hydrogenated vegetable oils” on it
Nutrition education on label reading and portion control is essential in keeping trans fat intake as low as possible.
MANY SNACK FOODS CONTAINS TRANSFATS BUT THEY MUST BE SPECIFIED
In response to consumers’ demand for foods low in saturated fat and cholesterol, food companies started replacing saturated fats with vegetables oils.
Unfortunately, some vegetable oils didn’t work well as ingredients in many food products.
For example, margarine would completely melt at room temperature and the quality of baked foods was not acceptable.
Most cooking oils in the supermarket labeled “vegetable oil” are actually soybean oils. Vegetable oil in its liquid form has no trans fats or cholesterol and is high in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats.
Read the ingredients label on vegetable oils to see what type of oil it contains.
Soon food companies will be able to make products with soybean oil that does not require hydrogenation.
Knowing that consumers are concerned about trans fats, the food industry, food technologists and laboratory researchers are working to produce a new kind of soy bean oil that can be used in food recipes without being hydrogenated.
This oil is made from a new variety of soybeans that is currently under development. Using this new soybean oil will allow manufacturers to offer trans fat free foods while maintaining product quality.
WHAT IS TRANS FAT?
Trans fatty acids a liquid oil that has been subjected to very high heat in the process known as hydrogenation.
The process of hydrogenating any vegetable oil produces what is know as Trans fatty acid or transformed fat solidified through hydrogenation.
This hydrogenated product prolongs shelf life, gives a firm texture to the food and has a good mouth feel.
Trans fats ate found naturally in many foods, in which the major source in the diet are the partially hydrogenated oil. Examples of these are cookies, crackers, muffins, potato chips and stick margarines.
Since trans fats have been shown to have similar effect on the body as saturated fat it’s important to limit your intake of foods containing trans fats.
On average, about 2.6 percent of the calories in the typical diet come from trans fats. However, your individual intake depends on your food choices. By selecting foods carefully, you can minimize you consumption of trans fats. New products are now available in the supermarket that are labeled trans fat free- with more to follow soon.
However, some products that are trans fat-free may still be high in saturated fat, calories or added sugars.
Check the Nutrition Facts panel on the food label for total fat, saturated fat and trans fat, as well as calories and other nutrients. Select food that will fit into your healthy eating plan.

They also help the body absorb certain nutrients such as vitamins A, D, E, and K. it’s important to understand the difference in saturated, unsaturated and trans fat.
Lately, though, you’ve probably been hearing more about trans fats. Before making any decisions about changing your diet, you need the facts about the role of fats in a healthy eating plan.
Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are beneficial forms of fat that promote health. These fats help lower blood cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. It is recommended that a person has daily fat intake between 20 to 35 percent of total calories.
With most fats coming from sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats such as fish, nuts. And vegetable oils (such as soy bean, canola, and peanut oil).
Saturated fats and trans fats can both increase blood cholesterol levels especially the bad LDL cholesterol and increase the risk of heart disease. It’s important to limit the amount of these fats in your diet.
