It was somewhat startling recently to open up the morning newspaper over a generous platter of bacon and eggs in a Saskatoon restaurant to be greeted by the headline: "Consuming red meat increases risk of dying, new research shows.
Within the study, the incidence of all cancers combined was lower among vegetarians than among meat eaters, but the incidence of colorectal cancer was higher in vegetarians than in meat eaters," says the report by European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition-Oxford.
Twenty years later, the health experts determined the process called hydrogenation used to make those margarine bricks creates trans fats which are as bad or worse than saturated fats for clogging arteries. Food items like eggs and bread seem to bounce on and off "eat 'em and die...

This is a real fundamental advance, it is a completely different way to think about dealing with hydrogen," says chemist Douglas Stephan, head of the team which describes the chemical reaction in the journal Science today.
"What you want to be able to do is burn the hydrogen in your car and go to a station and recharge your storage tank with hydrogen," says Stephan.
Hydrogen is also at the heart of one of the most commonly used chemical reactions in the world, the "hydrogenation" that adds hydrogen to fertilizers, pharmaceuticals and oils widely used in foods.

The Fort Rouge-East Fort Garry councillor said she would table a motion on Friday at a meeting of council's Protection and Community Services committee to have the city's public service look into "the feasibility of restricting trans fats." If the motion passes, city administrators would have 90 days to come back with a report, the findings of which councillors could accept or reject.
I'm prepared to support [Jenny Gerbasi]'s motion insofar as it seems to be looking for more information," said St. Vital Coun. Gord Steeves. "Where I think Jenny and I might differ is that Jenny seems to be a lot further down the road than I am, when it comes to the issue of banning trans fats.
"I don't know how difficult it would be for a city to actually ban trans fats," Steeves added. "I don't know wh...
