Trans fats come from the use of PARTIALLY hydrogenated oils. They are mostly used in foods that have a particular texture, i.e. to keep chips crunchy longer or to keep solid foods smooth and palatable longer. In essence, trans fats prolong the shelf-life of foods. Trans fats are extremely dangerous to your heart and other internal organs, but because soy milk does not contain partially hydrogenated oils (you can check the label), it does not contain trans fats either, which are completely different from saturated fats which, are actually needed for a complete nutrition.
Just for future reference, federally mandated nutrition labels ARE allowed to display 0% trans fat if there is a half gram or less of trans fat per serving so checking labels for any partially hydrogenated oils is key!

Soy does have fat which is natural to the plant. It is not a trans fat. Some soy milks are marketed as low fat, so I guess somehow they remove some of it. I personally prefer almond milk, as it doesn't have the plant estrogen that soy does. Americans are already inundated with products that increase estrogens which can cause cancer and other illnesses.

The soy milk itself does not. But if you buy a brand that contains High Fructose Corn Syrup, your liver will turn it into a trans fat. So become a label reader and avoid that substance all together.

Soy milk....
A boon to the lactose-intolerant, soy milk contains high-quality protein but has Less saturated fat that 1% low-fat milk-and no cholesterol.
Per 1 cup of soy milk -
Calories: 81, Fiber: 3.2g, Protein: 7g, Total Fat: 4.7g, Saturated Fat: 0.5g, Cholesterol: 0mg, Sodium: 29mg
Did you know?.....
Soy milk builds bones: Postmenopausal women given calcium-fortified soy milk gained significantly more bone density than women given protein and calcium in the form of milk powder.
Because it's made from a legume, soy milk-unlike dairy milk-contains fiber.
Good luck! _;-)

Transfatty acids are those which have been changed from a solid to a liquid by exposure to excessive heats. Soy milk is derived from soya beans, no fat that I know of in soya beans. Answer to your question would be no buddy..........:)
