the best thing I think is to continue to inform people no matter what..and what ever knowledge you have to share its good to do so anyway..I mean to say if someone is about to jump off a cliff.. you can't just say.. oh well you will die one day why not now?   maybe thats not what you meant..but you can't give up so easily.. you won't waste your breathe.  Like a child yu think they are not listening ...but they really are ... we can't judge because they look or sound negative.. tell them, inform them,,, at least then you know you done your job... transfat it blocks your arteries it is dangerous and hdl is very good for you... Ldl's are bad for you.. transfat lowers your hdl's and that is not good.. but eat foods with no transfat..watch out for enhancers 621 you find this also in coke and just about everything, soups, chicken, everything in the supermarket.. just read the labels... there thats my info for now.

I usually do get into conversations with friends and family members about foods, additives and how it affects the body,,but with some people it really doesn't matter, they feel "we all are going to die of something" - I've heard that a lot of the years as their excuse, so I'm at the point that I know who not to waste my breathe on.
