Looking at the label of her favorite microwave popcorn, Eloise notes that the total fat for a serving is 12 grams, which is marked as 18% DV. It is further broken down into 2.5g of saturated fat, listed as 13%DV. There is 4.5g of trans fat per serving. What can Eloise MOST likely conclude from this information?
Answer
A
The popcorn she likes is not the healthiest choice she could make.
B
Her favorite popcorn is much healthier than she had realized.
C
The amount of fat in her favorite popcorn would be considered low.
D
The trans fat included combats the saturated fat and cancels it out.
Explanation
A serving has 12 grams of total fat (18% DV), including 2.5 grams of saturated fat (13% DV) and a substantial 4.5 grams of trans fat. Trans fat does not cancel out saturated fat; both are types of fat associated with health concerns. So Eloise can most likely conclude that this popcorn is not the healthiest choice she could make.
