Zero trans fat doesn't always mean zero - Yahoo! News

Zero trans fat doesn't always mean zero - Yahoo! News:
"Federal regulations allow food labels to say there's zero grams of trans fat as long as there's less than half a gram per serving. And many packages contain more than what's considered one serving. 'The problem is that often people eat a lot more than one serving,' said Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian of Harvard School of Public Health."
I stand by my advice: if it says hydrogenated anything, avoid it :) (Sorry manufacturers!)
