Did you stop eating oreos when you knew about the trans fat?

I remember back a while that others were talking to take oreos off of the markets. Many claimed that the trans fat in oreos were very unhealthy. Since the report, have you stopped or eaten less oreos?

Oreos are a luxury for us as they have to be imported into this country and that makes the price go up. So we don't buy them that often and when we do we try to make them last. We will continue to buy them though as they taste good and they're a real treat for us. I checked on wikipedia and it says that they've stopped using hydrogenated oils in the classic Oreos since January 2006. They can't say the same of the other varieties.

i rarely eat Oreos even when i was younger but i love cookies. (we considered it a luxury because it is bought at the imported section)

I was never a fan of oreos but I do now read all food labels to avoid hydrogenated oils. There are healthier, trans fat-free versions sold at Wild Oats which doesn't sell ANY products with trans fats.

i have stopped eating it ever since i knew about the dangers of trans fat in oreos. i love oreos but i am more concern about my health. the only one thing that im trying to fight off is my love for french fries! which has the same amount of trans fat :(

There's a lot of dangerous processed food ont he market today ( aspartame, MSG, high fructose corn syrup, etc..) but hydrogenated oils are by far one of the worst culprits. I don't eat anything that contains a cooked oil or hydrogenated trans fats, it inhibits metabolism and suppressed proper thyroid function... Their like plastic fats, they also clog your arteries severely, especially if you already eat a lot of meat and saturated fat.

I don't remember the last time I ate oreos. I am used to my mother's and my grandmother's homemade cookies, so why would I want to eat store bought ones? No thank you, I'll take home baked over store bought every single time.
