MARCO Grand Rounds for October 8, 2006

From Warren, KD4GUA:

Last Sunday was a washout so we will try again this Sunday to discus "TRANS FATS" and the relationship to taking Statins. In other words do I stop eating cookies and not start taking Lipitor?

The subject is getting more intriguing every hour. Monsanto and DuPont are putting out a product that is low in linoleic acid (which causes fats to spoil) that does not have to be hydrogenated. Cookies that are hydrogenated can almost last forever.
