An important point is that if you look at what people were eating a couple of hundred years ago, it was much higher in saturated fatty acids. Most "junk food" items are much richer in UFAs and lower in SFAs than meat and dairy, which are consumed in large amounts by Americans and UK citizens, and so targeting "snack" or "junk" food just shows that you are lacking the most basic of research skills. Here are more "junk food" items (if there is a third number, it is the trans fatty acid content - also note that the Keebler information came from their site, whereas the rest came from www.foodfacts.com):

Thus, if one wanted to avoid "saturated fat" in typical "snack" food, it would be very easy. On the other hand, if you want an item that is rich in SFAs but low in PUFAs, your choices are very limited. |
