Family Living Althea Engle Lancaster Co. Extension Agent Mmm! The taste of butter in pastry is a special treat that some have given up. while using mar garine or shortening that is mote healthy. Right? Doubts have come up about the wisdom of the switch, though, as a recent commentary criticized the trans fatty acids present in hydro genated fats, such as margarine and shortening. Trans fatty acids are formed when liquid vegetable oils, like soybean and com oils are process ed to become solid at room tem perature. In this process, called hydrogenation, hydrogen is added to the chemical structure of the oil Unsaturated oils ale turned into more saturated Cat, and. with a subtle difference in the chemical makeup some trans fatty acids. Fats that are naturally hard at room temperature have cis not trans fatty acids. To reduce heart disease among Americans, the Dietary Guide lines by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Depart ment of Health and Human Ser vices recommend eating less sa turated fat Partially hydrogenated margarines, containing less satur ated fat than butter, became wide ly used by consumers. Also the food industry used partially hy drogenated oils to reduce the saturated fat content of baked and fried foods, e.g. cookies, crackers, and chips, and to cut cost Now partially hydrogenated vegetable CLOSED SUNDAYS, NEW YEAR, EASTER MONDAY, ASCENSION DAY, WHO MONDAY, OCT. 11, THANKSGMNS, Fllimni CHRISTMAS A DECEMBER 2»IH FISHER’S FURNITURE, INC.

Delicious SHOO-FLY PIES FOR SALEI Journal of Public Health in May called for federal regulations to greatly reduce or eliminate partial ly hydrogenated vegetable fats in the nation’s food supply and to in clude bans fatty acids on the food label. The estimation of 30,000 an nual deaths from heart disease that Dr. Willett and his co-author sug gested as the toll of bans fatty acids was based on epidemiologi cal studies. Although not relied upon to prove that a disease is caused by a particular factor, epi demiological studies have gained importance by showing greater risks associated with certain fee tors, such as fet in the diet How do you make food choices now? The tint point to remember is to eat less fet Using butter in stead of margarine is an option.

A healthy adult wom an eating 2000 calories daily could eat 20 grams of saturated fat in a day and not exceed one-third of 30% calories from fat, the limit recommended by the American Heart Association for saturated fat intake. An active adult male eating 2500 calories could eat 25 grams and not exceed one-(hird of 30$ calories from fet What one needs to remember is that the 25 grams from one teaspoon of butter are added to the saturated fet from meats, cheese, baked goods, and milk containing butterfat that are eaten in a day’s time. Some health advocates think the fet amount you eat should be even lower. Look at the sample of a day’e menu to see how the food fats add up for lower fet meals. Eating less of fat-containing foods and choosing fat-reduced or nonfat foods more often will help to cut down on the bans fatty acids and saturated fats that could cause harm. Using oil like olive oil, can ola, peanut, or soybean oil instead of margarine or shortening will help to reduce the saturated fat, but they count as fats, and a diet low in total fat is important too. Eating bread and vegetables with out butter or margarine and enjoy ing their natural flavors alone can be another alternative on the way to maintaining health.
