Oreo's vs. Newman-O's
Fact: Oreos are the top selling cookies in the United States.
Few people would worry too much about their saturated fat - only 1-1/2 grams per three-cookie serving, according to the label.
That is no worse than Newman-O's, a look-a-like organic sandwich cookie made with palm oil. (Palm oil is naturally saturated, so Paul Newman can turn it into a "creme" filling without hydrogenation).
But the Newman-O's label says "No trans-fatty acids", while the Oreo label doesn't mention that each serving has two grams of hidden trans fat.
That makes the Oreo's twice as bad for you as Newman-O's.
All the Newman-O's chocolate products include organic cacao. These cookies can be found in natural food stores across the country. Visit Newman's Own Organics for more information.
