The Hidden Truth About Meat Sticks: The Sneaky Trans Fats They Don’t Want You to Know About (And Why Ours Are Different)
You love meat sticks. You grab one every time you’re hungry, you stash some in your bag for the road, and they’re a post-workout staple. But, there’s something you NEED to know that might just change your snack game forever:
A lot of those meat sticks you buy? They’re hiding artificial trans fats.
Trans fats are linked to heart disease, raised cholesterol, and a whole laundry list of other health risks. And while health-conscious eaters like you are busy checking labels for the good stuff– protein, low sugar, low carb– you might be missing a crucial part of the ingredient list: encapsulated acids.
In short, encapsulated acids are used to speed up the cooking process but they hide trans fats within them. However, your favorite stick probably doesn’t even list trans fats on the nutrient deck. How is that allowed? If trans fats are less than half a gram per serving, legally speaking, these brands don’t have to list them on the nutrition facts. It’s a legal loophole. But, here’s the thing: those tiny trans fats add up over time, and your health pays the price.
The optimal consumption of trans fats is ZERO grams. Not a single gram. Ever. And yet, these sneaky little fats creep into your system, one meat stick at a time. Think about it: you’re grabbing one on the go, not even thinking about it, but those hidden trans fats are building up behind the scenes, slowly and steadily damaging your health. And over time? That adds up.
