Mixtures of stearic acid, for example with transfat-free liquid vegetable oils, would allow for one of many options in providing transfat-free components for processed foods (1140) While the labelling of processed foods is commendable and appreciated, it needs to be pointed out that continued labelling for cholesterol in milligram units, where the gram quantities of cholesterol are multiplied by 1,000 from grams to milligrams, is unfair to the health-conscious consumer, if and when transfat contents are ...[+++]to be given in gram units.

It is also noted that if one were to perform complete 100% hydrogenation of a canola oil or a soybean oil, the final transfat-free product would be mostly a saturated fat known as stearic acid, which has 18 carbons.

Mr. Bruce Holub: Obviously, I would also support a ban on hydrogenation, at least of the formation of stearic acid in the final product, if you go all the way to the use of blends in transfat products.
