Is anyone else concerned about the presence of trans fats?

Trans fats in PB2: I haven't seen any... unless it is in the chocolate pb2. There's no hydrogenated fats to begin with since they are stripped from the rest of the contents.

I've been using this coconut oil for years and have been so happy with it until recently. It's nothing to do with the taste or quality, etc.; it has to do with the fact that my last three shipments (two 54 oz.) have arrived with what appear to be sink holes in the middle and/or off to the side (best way to describe I can think of). When we've filled in the holes with the coconut oil from the top, it appears not to be a full bottle. I realize this is now under investigation, so we'll see...

I believe it's the indicator. Non GMO reduced sodium and organic. But I could be wrong.

Yes, I am menopausal right now too and that's why I'm having a hard time with belly fat. I used something similar years ago for an extended amount of time and it helped my belly fat disappear then too. I was then, and am now also exercising and eating healthy. Good luck!

Not really. It depends on what else you're eating and how physically active you are. If you are eating a lot of foods that are high in cholesterol, then you need to be concerned. If you are consuming massive amounts of whey protein on a daily basis and not being physically active, there is cause for concern. I am not a doctor and I don't know your personal health situation. For me, after a year of using organic whey protein, my bad cholesterol has gone done and my good cholesterol is up. I also do hard physical work every day and watch my diet carefully. My son had to have his bodyfat checked for wrestling, so I had mine taken for the fun of it, and it was 10%. Hope this helps you.

I'm concerned about GMO's, too. I went to Now Foods website and it states that this product is NON-GMO. I can order now!

I am not a doctor, researcher, or traditionalist. I did read up on your request and there is more information than this space will allow. I suggest you read @ http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/in-the-zone/201204/what-are-the-real-differences-between-epa-and-dha, there is alot of info there. Basically the body needs both of these elements. Happy health!

For those who usually eat a lot of deep-fried food, at least, I would think that the health benefits of the reduced amount of fat would probably outweigh any possible harm from the plastic!

No. There is a caveat on the packaging that reads "Manufactured in a facility that also uses nuts, soy, wheat, and milk". So there is a possibility of a small amount of cross contamination with other(wheat) products.

Cholesterol generally in itself is not the issue. It's the source. Cholesterol from whole foods like this product is absorbed and used by your body as it should be. Cholesterol from processed, hydrogenated, partially hydrogenated sources sticks to your arteries. Hope this helps

Mine doesn't have that warning labeled on it. From what I just googled that label is a California requiredment. I honestly am not familiar with much of the cancer causing ingredients in anything. I personally will look further into this subject. Good question. Good stuff.

I have only been taking Artic Ruby Oil for 10 days. I will need more time to evaluate the product and its claim to reduce belly fat.Ward W.

The right kind of saturated fat is fine. Extra virgin coconut oil is the right kind. It goes directly to energy and warmth, not to fat. Great in winter. If you tend to feel chilly, you'll notice the difference.

I totally understand your concerns! I had read many reviews before buying this product, and all of them said that the butter was odorless. However, when I bought and tried it myself, I actually SMELLED the creamy soapy something, plus I think there's some bees stuff smell in there. It's not very strong, and I can now bear it. All the more so, my belly feels AMAZING with this butter! It's a question of taste and preference, though. I wish you smooth and healthy continuation of your pregnancy, take care!

There are a ton of ingred....many natural but some typical. I saw no hormones nor did I see parabins. I do feel this product is healthier than most and goes on beautifully.
