NICE calls for trans-fats ban in foods


The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence(NICE) said that trans-fats should be eliminated from food in England. Trans-fats is damaging to health and can cause cardiovascular diseases. These diseases comprise heart disease and stroke, which are the biggest cause of death in the UK. If trans-fats are eliminated it will save 40,000 lives and £1 billion on health care.

I think it is an excellent idea of NICE to take this measure. I think many people do not know that trans-fats are dangerous to your health. When it is banned in foods people are not able to damage themselves with it any more. This is the first step to healthier food and I am glad. If I could decide I would say that more dangerous fats should be eliminated and while we are on it, why not force everyone above 120 kilo's to a diet or a gym?
