's to switch to healthier cooking oil

COLUMBUS, Ohio 's is looking to improve its " nutritional

profile. "

The country's third largest burger chain says its switching to a non-

hydrogenated blend of corn and soy oil that has zero grams of artery-

clogging trans fat per serving. It will cut trans fat in french

fries and breaded chicken items by 95 percent.

Research shows trans fat raises bad cholesterol and lowers good

cholesterol. And eating just five grams a day raises the risk of

heart disease by 25 percent.

The changeover is expected to take place in August.

Mc's pledged to switch to healthier oil four years ago, but

management says the company's still testing the oil and can't say

when it'll make the change.
