Entire cities and counties have banned them. McDonald’s and KFC have declared to give them up—as have Starbucks, Ruby Tuesday, and a host of other former sources of sinful pleasures. In response to the 2006 Food and Drug Administration requirement that trans fats be listed on nutrition labels, makers of packaged goods have brought their totals down to zero. Last month, Frito-Lay even got the FDA’s blessing to put a claim on products loaded with healthy, unsaturated fats that replacing bad fats with good ones may protect against heart disease.
Does this mean that junk food is now the new health food? "No! " says Robert Eckel, immediate past president of the American Heart Association, whose "Face the Fats" education campaign points out that a "zero trans fats" label doesn’t tell the whole story. "People know trans fats are not good for them," says Eckel. "But they do not understand that replacing them with saturated fat is not a good option." And that, in some cases, is what’s happening. Yes, the food industry is experimenting with ways to keep the saturated fat content low—by using unsaturated options such as canola and sunflower oils, for example. But some manufacturers, unwilling to sacrifice taste and texture, are turning back to less-than-healthful choices such as palm oil and butter.
Baked goods have proved particularly unwilling to change. The solid fats that provide their light texture, as well as the rich flavor typically are either highly saturated or are "partially hydrogenated" oils that contain trans fats. Makers of fried foods have had an easier task, since certain liquid unsaturated oils can do as tasty a job. Snack makers, too, have found the switch to be relatively manageable.
Manufacturers are raising nutrition experts’ eyebrows with other tricks, too. Walter Willett, a professor of nutrition at Harvard whose research showed that trans fats promote heart disease, says that some companies now are fully, rather than partially, hydrogenating vegetable oil. Full hydrogenation doesn’t create trans fats as it solidifies the oil, but it does produce an acid, a saturated fat which seems in preliminary research to promote inflammation, thus contributing to heart disease. "I’m not in favor of using totally hy-drogenated oil until more is known," he says.
A recent study by the International Food Information Council Foundation shows that about 42 percent of Americans—a 9 percent increase over last year—are trying to cut back on certain healthy fats along with trans fats. "All people hear is that fat is bad, bad, bad," says Susan Borra, president of the foundation. In fact, most people need more of the good kind.
Robert Eckel would most likely agree that ________.
选项
A、zero trans fats label tells that the food is healthy for sure
B、junk food is now thought of as the new health food
C、it sometimes does no good to use saturated fats instead of trans ones
D、people don’t realize that trans fats are harmful
答案
C
解析
根据题干中的Robert Eckel可定位到第二段。该段的直接引语说明Robert,Eckel认为用saturated fat“饱和脂肪酸”代替trans fat“反式脂肪酸”并不是一个好的选择,故C项正确(注意该段第四句中的them指代trans fats)。A项中的for sure肯定语气与该段第一句中的doesn’t tell the whole story“不能说明所有问题”相反。在谈到现在的垃圾食品能否成为新型健康食品时,Robert Eckel明确表示否定的态度,B项不符合文意,故不正确。Robert Eckel认为人们都知道trans fats不好,只是不明白用饱和脂肪代替反式脂肪并不是一个好选择,D项歪曲事实。
