Well, I certainly wish restaurants would shift to using healthier oils, but remember, we, the consumers still bear the final responsibility on what we eat. Just because your french fries and burgers were prepared using zero transfat oil doesn’t make it a healthy meal. Perhaps, a bit healthier than they would have been otherwise, ok, but don’t get fooled into believing you can make it a regular fare.

Personally, I still prefer rice bran oil for home use, though.

Omega 9 Oils

Why do different kinds of fats matter? Current USDA dietary guidelines recommend that Americans reduce consumption of “bad” saturated fats (which can raise cholesterol levels, leading to problems with obesity and heart attack), and increase consumption of “good” unsaturated fats, (which can help lower cholesterol). The very same guidelines also instruct Americans to double their milk consumption from 1.3 to 3 servings of low fat or fat free milk per day, but surveys show that 70% of US milk drinkers prefer 2% or whole milk over blue, watery fat free milk. Realizing that three glasses of 2% milk have the same saturated fat as an oversized cheeseburger really makes you think twice about pouring that milk on your morning cereal. SunMilk, on the other hand, provides a healthy alternative to traditional dairy milk because it has no saturated fat and it tastes great because unsaturated fat is blended back into the milk, giving it the rich, creamy taste we’re all used to (it’s hormone-free too!).

I can’t personally vouch for the taste, as I haven’t tried it, but here’s a review of someone who has.

Now I wonder when will they come up with milk containing conjugated linoleic acid-rich safflower oil instead.
