Rainbow Over Ennis Lake in Montana. Photo Use Policy. Montana weather is, to say the least, diverse. The combination of its northern latitude, its location in the Great Plains, the dramatic elevation changes and the numerous tall mountain ranges in the state all combine to produce some wild, wacky and generally unpredictable weather.
For years, trans fats have been viewed as bad for the heart, prompting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last summer to ban artificial trans fats from food products. But a new study suggests that not all trans fats are equal, and some might even be good for you. The German researchers found that naturally occurring trans fats found in dairy and meat products might actually help protect the heart, while low levels of artificial trans fats did not seem to pose a health risk.
Trans Fat. We know research shows that reducing trans fat in the American diet helps reduce risk of heat disease, but how and why? Let's try to clear up the confusion about trans fats. There are two broad types of trans fats found in foods: naturally-occurring and artificial trans fats. Naturally-occurring trans fats are produced in the gut of some animals and foods made from these animals (e.g., milk and meat products) may contain small quantities of these fats. Artificial trans fats (or trans fatty acids) are created in an industrial process that adds hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils to make them more solid.
