• Fibia Simona I was born and raised in Europe, I grew up eating celery root a lot. I was very sad when I moved to the States and realized it is not easy to find and that people don't know what it is or how to cook it. Delicious! [Celery Root: Nutritious, Inexpensive, Versatile and Quite Delicious http://bit.ly/1chWOqo]

• Patricia Goodwin Thanks for this valuable article. I believe the labels do not always say "trans fats," but "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" vegetable oils. It's been a while since I've looked. We don't eat packaged foods. The main problem with trans fats is the creation of tumors as well as random lumps of plastic-like substance in the blood stream. Of course, donuts (from DD or a bakery) are made from ingredients you don't see, nor are they labeled. Haven't had a donut in years. Had some bread at a restaurant recently. The next day my body told me I'd eaten trans fats. I'm also suspicious of guar gum, a food thickener from trees - is it more like rubber? or is it like maple syrup? I'd love to see a piece on some of the natural food stabilizers. Once isolated from nature, and put someplace where they were never intended to go - the human body - these substances can have quite a different effect. We're all subjected to this experimentation from major food corps, sometimes unwittingly. [This is Why Trans Fats Probably Aren’t Going Away Anytime Soon http://bit.ly/1i1RplL]
