Basically, saturated fats are found in animal products and processed foods, such as meats, dairy products, chips, and pastries. They are not heart healthy since they are most known for raising LDL cholesterol or simply the "bad cholesterol". That is the reason why Denmark levies first-ever saturated fat tax. All fats in food in Denmark will be taxed in an effort to lower consumption. The Danish tax system will be the first real-world test of taxing a particular food element as a way to reduce or change consumption toward “healthier” options. Some call this an ineffective effort, but only time can tell. I definitely support this tax because this is one intervention of health promotion and wellness maintenance.

Rentawitch, how long did you do it?  I hear that the adjustment period can be quite long.  My hair is pretty straight too, but I'm still tempted to try it.  I'm just too lazy!  And I have two little kids, so being able to cut down on my routine would definately be plus.  Also, the chemicals... ick!
