Can't find any in California. Then again, can't find a good tasting New York style pizza out here either. Awww, I miss Dunkin Donuts. Maybe if they made it California-healthy they'll get some franchises out here and I can pig out like I did when I lived on the east coast? Anyone go for an artichoke donut?

Soy is a hormone that affects your Thyroid. Millions of people with Thyroid conditions will be eliminating Dunkin Donuts from their list, along with many other foods and restaurants that are jumping on the soy wagon. Research Thyroid and Soy and see the damage they are doing to us.

The article stated it contained Palm, Soy and safflower oil. It also stated they were not out to make a healthy donut just a slightly better one. Better than what I am not sure.

I heard the story on the radio this morning and they mentioned DDs plans to use palm and soy oil as replacements.

IF TRUE, a step in the correct direction.

HOWEVER, deep frying (which is how donuts are made) triggers very large concentrated levels of acrylamide in all items, including DONUTS.

Are donuts any better in health for you, minus TRANS FATS? NO!

Remember, this could be just more PR spin, like Starbuck's announcing they would maybe seek to eliminate trans fats in 10 cities in the USA, 2 or 3 years from now...

Reality remains stranger than fiction. Homer Simpson, nuke power plant worker, and lover of donuts, can now have irradiated almonds on his acrylamide laden donuts.

Noticed, they did not state what new oil was to replace the trans fat. Not to be trusted.

Best thing to do is, stay away from these items all together. Do not trust these corporations.

The article says they will not be removing all the trans fats. Also, what is the new cooking oil? More junk oil? Donuts is junk food anyway.
