Do you know, every 34 seconds a person in the United States dies from heart disease? It adds up to more than 2,500 Americans dying each day from the disease! And, with every 20 seconds, a person in the United States having a heart attack, at least 250,000 of them die before they reach a hospital.
The main culprit behind the alarming statistics is lifestyle and food habits. With more and more people shifting to oil-based food, it is perhaps the wisest plan to let junk-food products carry claims like – ‘Products with unsaturated fat can curb heart disease risk.’
This is exactly what FDA has planned to do to aware people of their dear heart’s risk factors.
The vegetable oils, salad dressings, crackers and other oil-containing food shelved by PepsiCo Inc.’s Frito-Lay unit will now be carrying the same claims, U.S. regulators informed.
In a statement, U.S. Food and Drug Administration said,
Frito-Lay intends to apply the claim to vegetable oils, spreads, and shortenings that have a total unsaturated fat content of 80 (percent) or more of total fat.
