Anyone else watch The Biggest Loser?

I watched it some last season, but only caught the finale of this season that aired last night. Unbelievable! At least a couple people on the show lost over 50% of their original weight. The winner, Erik, went from over 400 pounds to under 195. Look at these before and after photos: www.nbc.com/.../erik_before1.jpg www.nbc.com/.../erik_finale10.jpg Hard to even believe this is the same guy!

    Top nutritionists at Harvard have stated as follows: "By our most conservative estimate, replacement of partially hydrogenated fat in the U.S. diet with natural unhydrogenated vegetable oils would prevent approximately 30,000 premature coronary deaths per year, and epidemiologic evidence suggests this number is closer to 100,000 premature deaths annually." Is trans fat the sole source of those deaths. If replacing the trans fats with natural unhydrogenated vegetable oils prevents the deaths then the implication is that yes, the trans fats are the sole source of those deaths.
