You mention ConAgra. They are a customer of mine, and if you knew how they prepare their shrimp/seafood products you would never buy prepared seafood again. They take them and bloat them with water and tri-poly. They call this "massaging" the product. Liken that to taking a nickle and turning it into a quarter. They do pay their bills fast, and that's why this is a happy story. SloopyPoopy

Scary stuff ... when the government says to limit consumption to 1 gram a day or less, it has to be pretty deadly. I'm wondering if that artificial fat that they have been using for the WOW potato chips has the same problem. The Danish Government acted in response to a report of the Danish Nutrition Council which stated as follows: "The results [of four population studies] suggest that the intake of trans fatty acids compared to saturated fatty acids per gram is associated with a 10-fold higher risk increment for the development of coronary heart disease. A negative effect of trans fatty acids on the human fetus and newborns has been further substantiated. The possible effect of trans fatty acids on cancer has not yet been settled. Data from epidemiological studies and from studies on the effect of insulin suggest that trans fatty acids increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. Recent findings justify further studies concerning the effect of trans fatty acids on the development of allergic diseases in children, and of specific trans fatty acids' effect on body fat distribution and on insulin sensitivity."
