This just in: the Board of Health has officially banned trans fat from all New York City restaurants. Trans fat – a common ingredient in cookies, pizza, and everything else we really want – has (unfortunately) been linked to heart disease. Not only does it raise bad cholesterol; it lowers good cholesterol too. The ban isn't effective until July 2008, but before you slink back to that burger, consider this: the FDA says the average American eats almost 5 pounds of trans fat each year. (Think: bowling ball. Enough said.) Looks like the proof is in the pudding this time ... literally.
