According to Nestle, hydrogenated oils just make the coffee lightener taste better and maintain its quality for long. Well, the fact is not in accordance with the Nestle’s saying. The hydrogenated oils contain trans fatty acids that may cause cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Thus, hydrogenated oils have been limited in many countries. Considering of this situation, the Nestle produces and sells “Zero Trans Fatty Acids” coffee lightener, chocolate and cookies in European and Asian countries like South Korea and Japan. Condemned by Chinese media, the Nestle just releases a statement, quoting from the WHO that the trans fatty acids are limited to less than 1% of the total daily calories. Based on this, the Nestle promises that trans fatty acids in all products made in China are far less than what the WHO suggested. To my understanding, the Nestle just says they haven’t done anything wrong. If you want to blame someone, just blame WHO. Why does the Nestle take double standards?

GUEST4794	Jimmyb, businessmen do what they can to enlarge their profits. It is not their faults. They said that their products were in accordance with the related laws in China. If China has a law to prohibit the sales of products that contain hydrogenated oils, the Nestle won't take the double standards.
