Shoppers today Are hard put to find processed goods that do not contain one or More of these cholesterol raising fats. And Many Are bamboozled by advertising claims about pure vegetable oils which they be come to believe Are More heat Hui than animal fats the food and drug administration allows the one or More listing of fats on food packages so that manufacturers can switch the fat used without printing new labels when prices fluctuate.  for the health of those Ealing packaged foods artery damaging Pam Coconut and Palm Kernel oils Are usually cheaper than the artery Prelec Ting polyunsaturated. With the Aid of american dollars and technology Palm and Coconut Trees Are being grown in profusion in tropical countries where labor Cost Are Low.

And Quaker 100% natural Cereal a Granola made with both Coconut Oil and dried Coconut has 6 Grams of at 54 Al calories in a 140-calorie serving of Only one Quarter cup of Cereal. To determine the caloric contribution fat makes in a Lood multiply the number of Grams of fat in a serving by 9 calories per Gram of fatten Divide by the number of calories in the serving and multiply the result by 100 to obtain a percentage. For example in the Case Al Quaker 100% natural Cereal 6 times 9 equals 54, divided by 140 calories equals 0.39, and multiplied by 100 yields 39 percent of calories from fat even ii skim milk is used.
