Reader Reviews:

For the past couple years, I have been half heartedly avoiding trans fats. But mostly in the grocery store where labels can easily be read. Now I will re-double my efforts. And I am putting my money where my mouth is. I'm buying 120 copies from the publisher to give away to our 75 employees and a few friends, with a few left to sell in our hotel restaurant.

The historical perspective was great, but was I left wanting to see a little more technical / scientific data. It is an easy, quick read which I appreciate. I just wanted more scientific information to satisfy my curiosity. This is probably one of the least understood and most important issues facing people today. From all that I have read from this book and others, cutting out trans fats is absolutely crucial for good health.

I consider Jean Carper to be a little better nutritional writer because I think she is more direct. On my underlining test, I find myself underlining a lot more in Carper's books. But Judith Shaw is now on my short list of good authors writing about important issues. Occasionally she got a little wordy, but I would not call the book too wordy overall or verbose. It is relatively direct, and the subject matter is of utmost importance.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is still breathing and able to read. Thanks Ms. Shaw for researching and writing it.I've long wondered why everyone over the age of 40 seems to be on Lipitor. Lipitor is in fact the Number 1 selling drug in the world. TRANS FATS by Judith Shaw has answered that question. Our government is in bed with the food and pharmaceutical industries. It allows the food industry to profit by poisoning our food with partially hydrogenated oils - even though the human body's tolerance level is zero. And, it allows the pharmaceutical industry to profit enormously from the sale of cholesterol-lowering drugs prescribed for people suffering from a lifetime of toxic trans fat build-up. Sincere thanks to Judith Shaw for bringing this to our attention in such a concise, readable way. Insincere thanks to our US Government for betraying its citizens once again. As Ronald Reagan said, "Government is not the solution to our problems; Government IS the problem." We need to begin holding our elected scoundrels accountable for their duplicity!I just finished reading Judith Shaw's recently published book: " Trans Fats: The hidden killer in our food." This is an impressive, first rate book. Shaw has managed to make a subject that could be less interesting and exciting, very interesting and exciting. I am impressed by the level of scientific evidence and thoughtful enquiry, and also historical detail. It all weaves together so dynamically and makes for very interesting reading It is almost like a detective novel. One wonders where is it going at first. And then it falls in place with very sharp logic. It is a fine piece of scholarship which includes much helpful information for people who want to learn more about the dangers in eating foods with trans fats. Judith Shaw's writing style is also very readable and easy to follow. A good and useful read!Avoid Trans-Fats, Bad Fats, Trans Fatty Acids are Dangerous.... These are all the buzz words I've been reading about trans-fats, especially in the Atkins diets and most low carb diets. This little book tells why they're dangerous and in such detail with so much noted evidence and such smarting comments about the food industry that you won't be able to put it down until you learn all you can. After reading it aloud to my Doubting-Tom husband he's convinced too. VERY Convincing! It's opened my eyes and I hope it will yours too!
