7 Foods That Won’t Be the Same If Trans Fats Are Banned

On Thursday, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it is moving toward significantly limitingâ€"more or less banningâ€"trans fats from foods in the U.S. The agency decided that trans fats are not safe for human health, and shouldn’t be in foods we eat.
