Show The Park Record Section C Thursday, April 8, 1 993 P Page C7 Caution Utahns have healthy lifestyles Give the gift of life Apr. 1 9 advised for fat free product Food processors have developed a whole range of new fat free products, ranging from a sour cream-like concoction to modified cheeses, and a Stanford nutritionist says such items can help people lose weight and reduce their cholesterol if used carefully and wisely. In the past few years the varieties varie-ties of products labeled "fat free" have increased substantially, largely because food companies have developed recipes which can substitute fats with natural gums or cellulose, or potentially even more unconventional ingredients, such as pureed prunes. Many products are truly fat free, not simply lower in cholesterol or fat. "For someone who just has to have cream cheese in his gelatin or sour cream on his baked potato, the fat free products appear to be a reasonable option," says Joann Hattner, a registered dietitian at Stanford Medical Center and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. However, the products do offer some tradeoffs. For example, subjectively they may not "taste quite the same as the original," Hattner explained, "especially to someone who is switching cold turkey from the high fat product. On the other hand, someone on a weight loss diet who has gone without cheese for years might find the fat free version a pleasant reminder of more carefree eating habits. Utah ranks in the top ten in eight of twelve healthy lifestyle categories cate-gories according to a survey funded the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and administered here by the Utah Department of Health. The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System determines and monitors the prevalence of nine risk factors and the use of three preventive services. Among 45 states and two territories and the District of Columbia, Utah leads the nation with the lowest percentage of smokers, but is 1 31 r V b z "But one of the real potential drawbacks," says Hattner, "is that regular users of the products are still in the habit of eating a high fat item. A more fundamental way - . . . i ... ixW to 1 i to intake a positive gdiechange would be, for example, to substitute salsa or mustard for sour cream, or a plain warm bagel for toast and butter. That way, you won't be tempted to fall back into high fat habits if the fat free options aren't available." Three other potential issues: the fat free products often have higher concentrations of sugar than their original versions, a major concern for diabetics. "Be aware that there are generally i many more ingredients in these products. If you have allergies to sulfites, for example be sure to T read the label," says Hattner. And i the cost of these products, at least u now, tends to be much higher than '. the original, she notes.
