Is your city trans-fat free? In Canada, the British Columbia Provincial Government has declared a ban on trans fats in restaurants. A wise move, wouldn’t you say? Fabulous in the effort to reduce diabesity.

One restaurant owner says that he has always followed his grandmother’s policy of cooking potatoes with olive oil, a habit we associate with the Mediterranean diet, reputed to be one of the healthiest in the world. I can tell you that, having thrived on it deliciously for two years in Italy, I would vote for it anytime.

This epidemic is heightening our chances of getting heart disease, kidney and liver problems and cancer. You can find out more in a free report from my website, on the right side of the page. Do let me know your thoughts by placing a comment in this blog.
