I know that you’ve heard about trans fat and that it’s dangerous to your health. It’s a frequent topic of conversation, and now you’ve been seeing the labels in the grocery stating that such and such a product doesn’t contain trans fat (in slightly different wording).

How many people want to look their best, be in their best health, and have a high level of energy? I’d dare say that the percentage is quite high, wouldn’t you? The difference between those who achieve this and those who don’t is action. One of the actions that are taken is “giving up” those [...]
