The New York Times > Business > Fat Substitute, Once Praised, Is Pushed Out of the Kitchen

Another "this is no surprise" but when the NY Times covers it, the story gets more visibilty.

The New York Times > Business > Fat Substitute, Once Praised, Is Pushed Out of the Kitchen: "trans fat, a component of the oil, is more dangerous than the fat it replaced. Studies show trans fat has the same heart-clogging properties as saturated fat, but unlike saturated fat, it reduces the good cholesterol that can clear arteries. A small but growing body of research has connected it to metabolic problems."

Best advice, avoid trans fat!!!!!
