According to one researcher, nutrition labels are not only confusing but deceptive, particularly when it comes to trans fats, the unsaturated fats often found in junk food. Eric Brandt, now a student at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine in Cleveland, did some investigating while still an undergraduate and found that even when labels indicated no trans fats, foods often contained them. Using this research, he published a paper in the current issue of the American Journal of Health Promotion, calling for changes in the way trans fats are listed on labels.
