‘‘[A] very sound rich body of scientific literature, [including] at
the time a fairly recent article by Mozaffarian [(Mozaffarian
et al., 2006)] that laid out the impact on coronary heart disease,
led to identifying trans-fat as something that the department
wanted to focus on. In addition, the F.D.A. had a couple of years
prior required the labelling on nutrition facts panels of trans-fat.
Prior to that it would’ve been less feasible, though doable.”
