Get ready for trans fat's long goodbye

         Cake frostings. Stick margarines. Microwave popcorn. They're going to need a reboot. The Food and Drug Administration announced Tuesday it's requiring manufacturers to phase out partially hydrogenated oils — the primary source of trans fats — from processed foods over the next three years. The FDA said research shows partially hydrogenated oils aren't "generally recognized as safe" for use in food. (Remind us again why we've been allowed to eat this for so long?) The oils are used to keep food from quickly spoiling, meaning a longer shelf life. Trans fats are bad because they LDL cholesterol, which can clog your arteries. Doctors estimate ditching trans fats would prevent 20,000 heart attacks and 7,000 deaths from heart attacks per year, said cardiologist Suzanne Steinbaum, director of women's heart health at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. We think we're just fine with this goodbye. #ArteryParty.
