This engrossing look at the hidden dangers in your food will have students thinking twice about relying on packaged and fast foods. Readers learn about fats (fatty acids, unsaturated fats, saturated fats, and trans fats). The book's content focuses on trans fats: where they come from, how they are produced, and their health aspects, and the recent attempt to eliminate trans fats from cooking and processing. Why we chose to publish this book: Trans fats lurk where we least expect them in our food.

Rosen's series will help to guide students on their path to healthy meals and physical wellbeing.
