How to use the data tables
Company^{Table 1 footnote a}	Product Name/ Description^{Table 1 footnote b}	Sampling Date^{Table 1 footnote c}	Fat (% by weight of food)^{Table 1 footnote d}	TFA (% of total fat)^{Table 1 footnote e}	SFA (% of total fat)^{Table 1 footnote f}	TFA + SFA (% of total fat)^{Table 1 footnote g}
Table 1 footnotes Table 1 footnote a This column identifies the food company. Return to table 1 footnote a referrer Table 1 footnote b This column identifies the food products that were chosen for analysis. Return to table 1 footnote b referrer Table 1 footnote c This column identifies when the food product was analyzed. Return to table 1 footnote c referrer Table 1 footnote d This column indicates the fat content of the food as a percentage by weight. Return to table 1 footnote d referrer Table 1 footnote e This column indicates the trans fats (TFAs) expressed as a % of the total fat content. The target is the 5% limit recommended by the Trans Fat Task Force. Return to table 1 footnote e referrer Table 1 footnote f This column indicates the saturated fats (SFAs) expressed as a % of the total fat content. The levels of SFAs are included along with TFAs, since SFAs are also a risk factor for heart disease. Return to table 1 footnote f referrer Table 1 footnote g This column indicates the sum of the TFAs and SFAs expressed as a % of the total fat. Return to table 1 footnote g referrer Table 1 footnote h Return to table 1 footnote h referrer For Companies A and B From 2005 to 2006, the TFAs were decreased to meet the 5% limit recommended by the Trans Fat Task Force. Table 1 footnote i Return to table 1 footnote i referrer For Company A From 2005 to 2006, the levels of SFAs were decreased. This column is useful to look at to see if TFAs were replaced by SFAs. For Company B From 2005 to 2006, the levels of SFAs were increased. This indicates that the company/food manufacturer replaced TFAs with SFAs. Table 1 footnote j Return to table 1 footnote j referrer For Company A The sum of the TFAs and SFAs is lower because the food company successfully replaced TFAs with healthier alternatives such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. For Company B The sum of the TFAs and SFA remains high indicating that TFAs were not replaced with healthier alternatives.
