Our nutrition experts certify that foods carrying the Go! Foods®
label meet national nutritional guidelines. All Go! Foods® meet
these nutritional criteria: Minimal Saturated Fat: Less than 4
grams for main dishes; less than 2 grams for side dishes, soups
and desserts Reason: Saturated fats turn on genes that cause
inflammation and hardening of arteries, and are associated with
higher bad LDL cholesterol levels. This increases the risk of
heart attack, stroke and some cancers. Foods high in saturated
fats include full-fat dairy products, red meat, coconut oils and
palm oils. No Trans Fat Reason: Trans fat has no redeeming
qualities! It increases bad LDL cholesterol and decreases good
HDL cholesterol, raising the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Although trans fat is found in small amounts in some meats and
dairy products, most is consumed in the form of hydrogenated
oils, which are added to stabilize products and lengthen shelf
life. Products that claim to be “trans fat free” have less than
0.5 grams per serv
