Trans-Fat in Nitro-tech Bars?

I posted this query about a month ago but not being a biochemist , I
didn't understand the replies.

I'm trying to find out if there is "trans-fat" in NitroTech protein
bars and if so, how much. http://www.muscletech.com/default.shtml

I contacted the mfr,.but have received no reply from them.

Any comments will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sy

that.

I should have mentioned that of course I looked at the ingredients list
but it contains polysyllabic substances which are meaningless to me.
Seems to contain everything but mouse droppings and bellybutton lint!

Gosh! They missed out the best bits! Don't think I'll be buying THOSE
bars!

Sorry I can't help with the fats.

That has never stopped me from posting!

Ha, ... Hah, Ha!

LOL! Actually, these are one of the very few protein bars my son WILL eat. They
aren't really what I would consider point friendly, but since he isn't doing ww -
they work for him. He does a lot of year round training for baseball, is on
college campus and doesn't really like to get up early to have breakfast. I
finally convinced him to at least drink some juice and eat the nitrotech bars
before working out, gatorade/water during, and at least a decent meal later. They
have worked well for him, stopped the dizziness and weakness symptoms he suffered
from last year.

They must be fairly popular, I have had to resort to buying by the case online ..
our stores can't seem to keep them on the shelves.

Simply look for the words "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" in
front of particular oils. Those are trans fats.

As a rule of thumb, you can reasonably expect the various
energy/protein/nutrition bars to contain trans fats; typically these bars
are made so they can sit on store shelves for a year or more. Look for
hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated in the ingredients.
