1108 Theresa Achmann Sydney NS I learned about trans-fats from my mother-in-law a few years ago -- she is originally from Europe, and keeps up with health info like this... very interesting information! Trans-fats are a silent killer.
1107 Dave Nowlin Winnipeg MB
1106 Christopher French Plymouth
1105 Joel Snitman Thornhill ON
1102 Nathalie Fugere Halifax NS Get rid of TRANS FATS for our children and the health system!!!!
1097 anne wilson Canmore AB Good grief, I did not understand that shortening is bad, and it poisons me that I was baking with it in order to stay away from processed foods. If I can't tell what's bad even when I look on the label, it shouldn't be there at all.
1096 Rao Kodali Etobicoke ON Eliminate trans fatty acids. Encourage Omega-3 oils/blends
1095 Tim Ellison Hospitality Service and Training Solutions New Westminster BC
1088 Missy Hajnasiewicz Robbinsdale
1083 Randy Gregory NB If Denmark can do it so can we. Lets take care of the health of the nation, not just the economics.
1079 Dana Landry Canadian School of Natural Nutrition halifax NS
1078 Mercedes Brian Wolfville NS After trans fats, lets go for banning toxic floride in our drinking water, and GMO labeling
1077 Robert Plummer Bloomington
1076 Neil Fiertel AB Trans fats are good for greasing axles and not for human consumption. They block arteries and build huge fat deposits. They are not needed in one's diet ...ever. They are not needed in foodstuffs and there are ways to eliminate them from product. It should not be necessary for every consumer to read through the tiny and detailed ingredients and try to ferret out if the company has slipped in this toxic trans fat ingredient into the mix. It should be the role of government to protect the consumer and not caveat emptor...Ban the trans fat and Canada will save billions in medical costs and help the citizenry to be healthier in so doing. Corporate interests in this matter are not in the least important. The health of our citizens must be the only issue to consider.
1075 Richard Hormaza Hacienda Hts I understand how bad trans fats are for people and hope that this push to ban them in Canada will snowball into banning them worldwide.
1072 rebecca ervin halifax NS
1070 Petra Hagemann AB
1069 Donna Evans Mount Pearl, NL NF There is no safe dietary level of trans fats. With their associated health risks, they should be made illegal!
1066 Gordon Allen Auld Allen Barristers and Solicitors Halifax NS We are walking into a future time bomb and health care crises due to decades of trans fat use in processed foods. There are alternatives to trans fat use in foods. We can not rely on the processors to self regulate this harmful substance away. It is particularily incideous as many transfat products are those marketed to children, whom we must protect. Many items containing transfat contain misleading labelling such as " no cholesteral, made with 100% vegetable shortening" so to a child or most people it sounds like a heart healty product but in fact is is loaded with transfat.
