Free Online Videos Helping Consumers Understand the Dangers of Trans Fats and How to Get the Right Combination of Fats in their Diet Health Politics, a popular health care news and information Web site and leader in the fast-growing world of online TV programming, has launched two short videos to help consumers understand what trans fats are and how to tell the difference between "good" fats and "bad" fats to ensure that their intake is healthy. The videos, hosted by Mike Magee, M.D., tackle the complicated issues and questions surrounding trans fats that were brought to the forefront with New York City's recent decision to ban them from restaurants. Dr. Magee explains how trans fats are made and how they came to exist in so many of our foods. In addition, he explains how to avoid these fats, which can lead to heart disease caused by high cholesterol, and how to eat the right kinds of fats, which is easier when you know which foods contain them, to maintain a healthy diet.
