Trans fats are by far mostly man made, occasionally found in nature in trace amounts. They are found in margarine, Crisco etc. and frequently found in baked goods. Manufacturers love the stuff because it has an incredible shelf life.
Even though the label may say "0" trans fats that doesn't mean there isn't any there, only that "per serving" there is 0 grams. At 0.5g/serving you can see how you can get way more than one gram if you get several servings.
Trans fats are proven to lower helpful cholesterol while increasing bad cholesterol. Not a good thing...
I'm just curious how many people know anything about it...
