Food. You have to eat sometime. The most prestigious scientific body in the United States concluded that the only safe intake of trans fats is … zero. Seems pretty straightforward, doesn’t it? And we’re not just talking about the risk of heart disease when it comes to trans fats. A 2013 study from Vanderbilt University suggests a diet with trans fatty acids may contribute to death from any cause. Except if you’re hit by a truck. Your daily intake of trans fats should equal your daily intake of plutonium — Zero. And the only way I know of to completely eliminate trans fats is to adopt a vegan diet. That is, if I were basing my decision only on … y’know … science. The answer is to go vegan Or mostly vegan. We’re about 90% vegan. We’re not trying to get into heaven … we’re just trying to make sure our food doesn’t kill us. Prematurely.
