NO YOLKS and Wacky Mac are Trans Fat Free! Most nutrition experts agree on the negative effects of trans fat on heart health. These experts are recommending that people severely restrict or completely avoid eating foods that contain trans fat. Why? Because trans fat (made when hydrogen is added to vegetable oil in a process called hydrogenation) is now known to raise Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL — the "bad" cholesterol") levels in the blood. When there is too much of the cholesterol carrying LDL in the blood, the cholesterol can be deposited on the walls of the coronary arteries, which restricts the flow of blood, and the risk for coronary heart disease increases. Both NO YOLKS and Wacky Mac contain no trans fat. NO YOLKS and Wacky Mac can, therefore, be recommended for most diets because each contain fiber, and each is cholesterol free and trans fat free. Eat in moderation. Eat a variety of foods. And avoid trans fat. To Your Health!
