what it takes to eliminate trans fat

In a new video, Dr. Frieden, President and CEO of Resolve to Save Lives, talks about the dangers of artificial trans fat and his efforts to eliminate trans fat in New York City in 2005. After learning a key lesson—voluntary measures to eliminate artificial trans fat don’t work—Dr. Frieden and the New York City Health Department implemented a trans fat ban that saves at least 300 lives every year and helped inspired a global movement.
