Do NITRO-TECH bars contain "trans-fat"
I just checked the label again and found : " Fractionated Palm Kernel Oil" Can anyone explain how meaningful that is? In article , Sarah Jane wrote: In wrote: In article , Daniel Witt wrote: what does the label say? I neglected to mention that the label lists lots of polysyllabic ingredients but no mention of the word "hydrogenated" which I understand is a process which creates "trans-fat". Yes. Can "trans-fat" be found in any other form or can I assume there is none in this product? Are there any fractionated oils in it? I think those also contain trans- fat. Thanks, Sy -- Please post and reply to |

Do NITRO-TECH bars contain "trans-fat"
"Daniel Witt" wrote in message .. .
what does the label say? I thought that food manufacturers are not required to put the amount of trans fats in the labels of their products. Wasn't there a great deal of controversies over trans fats in Oreo cookies not long ago? If I remember correctly, laws were made to require the listing of trans fats but they will be active only a few years from now. Incidentally, I looked at the labels of some packages of ramen noodles and I found no mention of trans fats. But I am fairly certain that they contain trans fats. -- "We all walk the long road, can not stay. There's no need to say goodbye." E.V. wrote in message ... I love NITRO-TECH bars because of their taste and protein content. I am trying to figure out whether they contain any significant amounts of "trans-fat". Any comments will be appreciated.

Do NITRO-TECH bars contain "trans-fat"
Ask yourself a better question. Is this bar the best thing that I can put
into my body? Answer probably not. It may be better than a snickers but is it the best thing you can consume. Eat to live don't live to eat and more important don't work to support your junk food bar company. That is what this bar is, junk food in a different wrapper. Eat an Apple, it's cheaper and all natural guaranteed. wrote in message ... I love NITRO-TECH bars because of their taste and protein content.

... I just checked the label again and found : " Fractionated Palm Kernel Oil" Can anyone explain how meaningful that is? Fractionation is the isolation of a particular part of the oil. They use it to increase or decrease the proportion of certain fatty acids in order to alter the melting point and behavior of the oil and products made from it. I'm not sure exactly how this affects the lipid profile, but it's a physical process and does not produce trans fatty acids. |

It is my understanding that trans fats may be a cause for heart diseases. |

Do NITRO-TECH bars contain "trans-fat"
I see your point. I eat lots of apples but they have no protein. Regarding being "all natural", so are nightshade mushrooms and snake venom and lots of other things that can hurt you. The appeal to "all natural" is the biggest bunch of bunk in the modern era. Sy In article , Pier-14 wrote: Ask yourself a better question. Is this bar the best thing that I can put into my body?

Used in order to remove omega-3 acids and transfats. The last one I agree about, but fractionating away the omega-3 to increase shelf time I disagree about since it increases the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio dramatically. If I remember correctly, soy oil in US is fractionated to remove the omega-3 oils :-( (a main reason why there is so little omega-3 in us diet) |
