Healthier doughnuts on the horizon?

Who here likes to start their day off with a good cup of coffee and a donut (or "doughnut" to be precise)? Although most donuts pack quite a wallop of sugar and calories these days -- in addition to many of them being fried -- they sure taste good. But,most are definitely *not* healthy -- far from it.

As more and more customers wake up to the fact that artery-clogging trans fats are bad for them, are donuts poised to become more healthy as donuts chains and makers get pressure to make these tasty treats quite a bit more healthy?

Frying donuts in an oil that contains no trans fats would be a good start -- without losing taste, that is. One thing is certain -- the pressure to rid trans fats from all food sources is not going away -- so donut makers should prepare to change (or lose some customers).
