From: Geri Lynn Peak [geripeak@charm.net] Sent: Monday, May 31, 2004 9:34 AM To: OC EXECSEC Subject: Cut the Trans Fat! To: HHS Secretary Tommy Thomson Room 615-F 200 Independence Avenue SW Washington, DC 20201 I support the Center for Science in the Public Interest in their effort to rescind all approvals of partially hydrogenated oils containing trans fat. Trans fats are associated with thousands of deaths annually, according to the FDA. Please support a healthy America and eliminate this problematic dietary additive.
