The skinny on trans fats

Trans fats have been in the news a lot lately, from Arby's recent announcement that they're eliminating this man-made fat from their fries, to today's huge news that the New York Health Board has banned them from the New York City restaurants.

As luck would have it, last week USA Today covered the Arby's announcement, motivating JackieZ and I to interview Dr. Lyles, medical director for L A Weight Loss Centers, about this controversial artificial fat.

We discussed why it's so bad, how people can decipher whether or not it's in the foods they eat, and more. When the news broke today, we rushed to get a Podcast of our interview online. I hope you enjoy it and, most important, find it informative and useful!
