I'm not certain where the above information came from regarding trans fats in Triscuits. There simply isn't any unless one eats the flavored triscuits.

The ingredients on the regular baked Triscuits (non-flavored stuff) is as follows:

WHOLE WHEAT, SOYBEAN OIL, SALT, MONOGLYCERIDES.

Unlike the article pointed to above, there are no hydrogenated oils in Triscuits. Now, if you get the flavored Triscuits, then yes, there are hydrogenated oils.

Oh, and what are monoglycerides? They are a fat, yes, but used in very small quantity as a preservative. For more information on what monoglycerides are/do, you can find that information here: http://www.drmirkin.com/archive/6221.html.

As long as you stick to the baked unflavored Triscuits, you should be fine as long as you eat them in moderation.
