After Smoking, Trans Fats Next on New York’s Hit Lis

er foodstuffs by July 1, 2008. Grocery stores would remain unaffected. Naturally occurring trans fats, which are found in some meats and dairy products are also exempted from these regulations.

The Board of Health has yet to approve the proposal and will not do so until at least December, Frieden said.

A few food companies have already moved to eliminate trans fats on their own.

In August Wendy's had announced a switch over to a new cooking oil that contains no trans fatty acids for its fast food restaurants. Frito-Lay removed trans fats from its Doritos and Cheetos. Crisco now sells a shortening that contains zero trans fats. Kraft's took trans fats out of Oreos.

In Demark McDonald's began using a trans fat-free cooking oil after that artificial trans fats in processed food was banned there, but it has yet to do so in the United States.

Dr. Walter Willett, chairman of the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard University School of Public Health, praised New York health officials for considering a ban, which could save lives.

He said, "Artificial trans fats are very toxic, and they almost surely causes tens of thousands of premature deaths each year. The federal government should have done this long ago."
