Website Educates Visitors What Foods to Avoid
05th Nov 2007
The American Heart Association has launched a new Web site, Badfatsbrothers.com featuring characters called Sat and Trans. It's a way to learn about what foods you should avoid in your diet. Here's a quiz from the brothers to find out whether you need to visit their site. Answer true or false:
1. Trans fats are worse for you than saturated fats.
2. Avoiding or at least cutting down on bakery and fried foods such as doughnuts and french fries will help you avoid saturated fats.
3. Chicken with skin, if it's not fried, is low in saturated fat.
4. Saturated and Trans fats are higher in calories than other types of fat.
5. Your body does not need dietary fat to be healthy.
6. If a label says Trans fat-free, it is a healthy choice.
7. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are a better choice than saturated and Trans fats.
8. Tub margarine is a better choice than stick margarine or butter.
