Long known to be linked to higher levels of cholesterol and heart disease, artificial trans fats are now being slowly removed from the food supply. Trans fats, found in many processed foods, such as cookies, crackers, frozen baked goods and other products, are no longer recognized as safe, according to a 2013 statement by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In June 2015, the FDA ordered food companies to phase out the use of all partially hydrogenated oils, the main source of trans fat in processed food, within three years. Ali Berg, University of Georgia Cooperative Extension specialist in the area of human nutrition and health promotion, welcomes the new regulations. Food manufacturers have been required to include trans fat content information on the Nutrition Facts label since 2006. That change led many companies to severely limit or eliminate their use of partially hydrogenated oils, but many products – especially snack foods – still contain some trans fats. What does this mean for consumers?First, make sure to check the Nutrition Facts label for trans fat and saturated fat content. According to Berg, a registered dietitian and nutritionist, you should choose products with as few grams of trans fat as possible and be wary of products that contain partially hydrogenated oils on their ingredients list. The Nutrition Facts label can state 0 grams of trans fat if the food product contains less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving, so if a product contains partially hydrogenated oils, it might contain small amounts of trans fat even if the label says 0 grams of trans fat. “This is where the new regulations really make a difference to consumers,” Berg said. “By 2018, even those ‘hidden’ fats will no longer be allowed in our food.”While eliminating trans fats from your diet is a wise decision, Berg wants to make sure that consumers make the distinction between trans fats and other types of dietary fats that are important for good nutrition. Not all fats are bad. Fat provides flavor, consistency and stability in foods, while also helping you feel full. “It’s not that all fat is bad fat,” Berg said. “It’s the types of fat and the amount of it that we eat that can cause health problems.” Healthy fats are important for proper growth and development, especially among infants, toddlers and children. Dietary fats are also a major source of energy and help in the absorption of vitamins A, D, E and K. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, referred to as “heart-healthy fats,” can be found in plant and animal products. Regular consumption of these fats is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Good fats can be found in avocados, olive oil, omega-3 fatty-acid-rich fish (like salmon, mackerel, trout and tuna), eggs, nuts, beans and seeds. Increasing your intake of good fats and decreasing your intake of bad fats, like saturated fats and trans fats, including partially hydrogenated oils, will help reduce your risk of heart disease and will improve your health overall, Berg added. The FDA also recommends these tips when choosing foods: Switch from stick margarine to soft margarine (liquid, tub or spray). Limit commercially prepared (ready-made) baked goods like muffins and snack cakes. For an easy swap, try prepackaged cut apples or baby carrots in place of packaged cookies or crackers. Choose lean cuts of meat and skinless poultry. Substitute fat-free (skim) or low-fat (1 percent) milk and milk products (such as yogurt and cheese) or fortified soy beverages for full-fat (whole) milk and milk products. Eat plenty of foods that are naturally low in fat and high in dietary fiber, such as whole grains, beans, peas, fruits and vegetables. Cook and bake with liquid oils, like canola or olive oil, instead of solid fats, like shortening, butter or lard. Try baking, steaming, grilling or broiling. These cooking methods do not add extra fat. When eating out, remember to ask which fats are being used to make the food you’re ordering. You can also ask to see nutrition information, which is available in many fast food and chain restaurants, and choose a lower fat option. read more

Members willingly give away their personal and financial information and then get tricked into authorizing wires, ACH, plastic card and other types of monetary transactions. Protecting members from themselves is a tricky proposition.Recognizing scams can be difficult for both you and your members. But you can slow the growing rate of scams by remaining vigilant and continuing to provide awareness and great member service. Unfortunately, scams are on the rise. Nearly 25 million Americans lost a total of $8.9 billion to phone scams alone in 2017, according to a 2018 TrueCaller survey. These numbers, while significant, only scratch the surface. Consider these statistics:On average, Americans receive 23 spam calls and 8.5 spam texts in a month. (TrueCaller)The average user receives 16 malicious emails per month (Symantec 2018 Internet Security Threat Report) with the fraudster looking to trick the individual into giving access to account, login, or financial information.A primary factor is whether a victim finds a fraudster’s story convincing—and to what degree. A good scam artist provides enough information and urgency to compel a victim to act quickly. Unfortunately, with an aging population, perpetrators are preying on the elderly, who tend to let their guard down more easily. continue reading » ShareShareSharePrintMailGooglePinterestDiggRedditStumbleuponDeliciousBufferTumblr read more

The ‘parental notification’ law for teenage abortions currently means that while a parent has to sign a letter for their daughter to go on a school trip to the zoo or to play in the netball team, they are totally excluded from any knowledge or granting of permission for that same child to be put on the pill or have a surgical abortion. What is so unique about abortion procedures which warrants the prohibition of parental consent? Ironically, if there is a complication from the abortion, the parent’s consent is then required for further treatment. Last year, a select committee rejected a petition for a law change (Hillary’s Law) by a Stratford mother whose teenager daughter attempted suicide after a secret abortion organised by the local school. Governments don’t raise children, parents do. If parents don’t know, they can’t care. Yet politicians have voted to keep parents in the dark. Family First is calling for the law to be amended to allow for parental notification in all cases of medical advice, prescriptions and procedures unless it can be proved to a Family Court that it would place the child at extreme risk. Politicians concerned about the welfare of young teenagers in a vulnerable and difficult situation should support family involvement.READ MORE: www.HillarysLaw.org.nz read more
