Once added trans fats are banned, the only major source in the American diet will be the natural trans fats found in animal fat. More on this in next video: Banning Trans Fat in Processed Foods but Not Animal Fat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Banning-Trans-Fat-in-Processed-Foods-but-Not-Animal-Fat), an update on my earlier video Trans Fat in Meat and Dairy (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/trans-fat-in-meat-and-dairy/).
Ideally how much trans fat should we eat a day? Zero, and the same with saturated fat and cholesterol: Trans Fat, Saturated Fat, and Cholesterol: Tolerable Upper Intake of Zero (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/trans-fat-saturated-fat-and-cholesterol-tolerable-upper-intake-of-zero/).

DESCRIPTION: We may have a billion different types of antibody-releasing cells in our immune system, such that each recognizes a different molecular signature. Isn't our immune system spectacular?! In Wednesday's video of the day Clonal Deletion Theory of Immunity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/clonal-deletion-theory-of-immunity/) we'll explore the flipside—how our immune system avoids attacking us. See yesterday's NutritionFacts.org video-of-the-day Cancer as an Autoimmune Disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cancer-as-an-autoimmune-disease/) for an explanation of the autoimmune theory of cancer.

The unnaturally large, rapid, and sustained calcium levels in the blood caused by calcium supplements may explain why calcium from supplements, but not from food, appears to increase the risk of heart attacks.

We actually evolved getting lots of calcium (eating lots of green leafy weeds), but not in the form of Tums. See Paleolithic Lessons (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/paleolithic-lessons/).
I’ve touched on calcium and bone health before:
• Calcium Absorption: Soy Milk Versus Cow Milk (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/calcium-absorption-soy-milk-versus-cow-milk/)

• Is Milk Good for Our Bones? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-milk-good-for-our-bones/)
This is a story consistent with disappointments surrounding many other supplements:
• Dietary Supplement Snake Oil (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-supplement-snake-oil/)
• Some Dietary Supplements May Be More Than a Waste of Money (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/some-dietary-supplements-may-be-more-than-a-waste-of-money/)
• Risk Associated With Iron Supplements (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/risk-associated-with-iron-supplements/)

• Broccoli: Sprouts vs. Supplements (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/broccoli-sprouts-vs-supplements/)
If you’re waiting on the edge of your seat for the next video (Are Calcium Supplements Effective? http://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-calcium-supplements-effective), maybe you shouldn’t be sitting so much! :)—see Standing Up for Your Health (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/standing-up-for-your-health/) :)
