"BanTransFats.com, Inc. is a non-profit corporation based in California. Our goal is the reduction and elimination of trans fats from all food products. Our founder is Stephen Joseph, a lawyer based in San Francisco, who is originally from Britain. Our principal consultant is Mary Enig, Ph.D. She is widely regarded as one of the world's foremost authorities on trans fats.

There are four kinds of fats: saturated fat, trans fat, monounsaturated fat, and polyunsaturated fat. Trans fat is the most dangerous.

Many British food products contain trans fat, including Digestive biscuits. It's not just in biscuits. It's in all kinds of foods, even some "health" foods. If you see the words "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" in the ingredients, the product contains trans fat.

Recent medical research has shown that trans fat causes significant and serious lowering of HDL (good) cholesterol and a significant and serious increase in LDL (bad) cholesterol; major clogging of arteries; type 2 diabetes; and other serious health problems."
