  • Warner talks about demonizing food choices. The US, ruling hydrogenated vegetable oils (HVOs) unsafe in any amount, will ban them next year. Their downsides have been well known since the 1990s, and efforts to get them out of food have by and large worked. In the UK, average trans fat intake is below the 5 gram daily limit the NHS advises. This is due to voluntary removal by food firms, so a ban was deemed unnecessary. Despite the success, average intake can be misleading. People may struggle to find HVOs on shop shelves, but cheap independent takeaways are a different story
