Mary L'Abbé, director of the bureau of nutritional sciences at Health Canada said that a ban would not be correct, because trans fats occur naturally in lamb, beef, and milk. Regulating trans-fats will decrease consupmtion and the risk of heart disease. Trans-fats have no nutritional value. When they are used in processed foods, they improve taste and increase shelf-life.
According to the source site, "... ingesting just one gram of trans daily — the equivalent of one chicken nugget or two slices of pizza — increases a person's risk of heart disease by about 20 per cent."
