COSTELLO: We have surprising news regarding your health. The FDA has just taken a step toward potentially eliminating transfats from our food supply. Senior medical correspondent, Elizabeth Cohen joins me now with more. Actually, I think this is a smart thing because transfats are the bad fats that raises your bad cholesterol.</s>ELIZABETH COHEN, CNN SENIOR MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: And lowers your good cholesterol. There's nothing good about transfats from a health perspective. There's no such thing as a safe amount of transfat that is you can eat. That's according to the head of the FDA just spoke on this issue. They're saying look, we're taking the first steps that in the end could ultimately mean -- will ultimately mean that transfats will come out of the food supply. Consumer groups ask the FDA to do this nearly a decade ago. Many people think that the FDA is late coming to this party, but better late than never. Those transfats ought to come out.</s>COSTELLO: We won't know it as an immediate change, but the change is definitely coming?</s>COHEN: Well, I hate to use the word definitely. There's a bureaucratic thing where we have to put in comments. I suppose it could derail. It's quite unlikely so it's a first step in a process. It would take a while. They have to allow the companies to reformulate their products. It's not going to be immediate.</s>COSTELLO: All right, Elizabeth Cohen, many thanks to you. Still to come, a question for you, take a look at this, magazine cover. Question, is this a cheap shot? Talk to a political reporter from "Time" magazine next.
