Where's the Fat?
by Dr. Reuven Bruner, Ph.D.
Potatoes, bagels, rice -- low-fat foods, right? Not if you're
talking about some supermarket varieties. When buying
processed foods, look at ingredients lists for hidden
saturated fats in the form of tropical oils (coconut, palm
and palm kernel), hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated
vegetable oils (hydrogenation makes an oil more saturated),
as well as cheese and butterfat. The following is a sampling
of unlikely places where saturated fats might lurk:
Side dishes, Snacks, Breakfast foods, Packaged rice dishes,
Microwave popcorn, Granola cereals, Stuffing/breading mixes,
Crackers, Nondairy creamers, Packaged potato mixes,
Pita/bagel bits, Flavored instant coffee mixes, Refried
beans, Instant breakfast drinks, Gravies (canned or
bottled), Frozen veggies in sauce.
So remember: be alive as long as YOU live and do it the
