As for transfat - avoid them at all costs, they're artificial and bad for us. I've never read or seen anything good about them!

Not all trans fats are artificial and bad. And some have been (possibly) shown to be good for us (though more study is needed).

You'll see small amounts of naturally occurring trans fats in some meats and dairy and butter lard. Please don't throw the baby out with the bathwater!

Though I agree that partially hydrogenated trans fats are bathwater that needs to be thrown out.
