 If you needed another reason to avoid trans fats, here it
is. Researchers with the ongoing Nurses Health Study measured the amount of
trans fat stored in red blood cells. Among the 32,000 middle-aged women
participating in the study, 166 had heart attacks or died of heart disease
during a six-year period. Their red blood cells had slightly higher loads of
trans fat than did red blood cells of 327 women of the same ages and
characteristics who remained free of heart
disease.

SENATOR KERRY
O'BRIEN
SHADOW MINISTER
FOR PRIMARY INDUSTRIES, FISHERIES &
FORESTRY
TRANSCRIPT OF
INTERVIEW WITH JANE BARDON, RURAL REPORTER, ABC RADIO. 14 June
2007
JOURNALIST: You have laid out some
of your intentions on how agriculture will fit into the climate change issue.
What's Labor's plans looking at this issue of agriculture and climate
change.
O'BRIEN: What we have been looking
at is the government going to COAG and agreeing a framework for an action plan
for climate change in agriculture and then nothing happening. What Kevin Rudd
announced at the NFF yesterday was that Labor would expedite the implementation
of that and we would set up an implementation panel. We would get some people
with agricultural experience to start working on the issues of agriculture and
climate change and start tying the science together with the practical measures
that can benefit the agricultural community in terms of sequestration and some
of the benefits which will flow ultimately in a regime when we're looking at
carbon sequestration and carbon credits.
