This really is going back to the early 1960s heart attack period. Trans fats whatever you call them - oleo, margarine, shortening - were developed by the industry to meet Depression and WWII shortages. By the mid-1960s nutritionists were in rebellion against dairy fat because of heart disease risks. Trans fats were still popular into the 1990s, and were not see as part of the problem. Then they were replaced by seed oils. A diet must contain some form of the wide range of fats mentioned. You can't eat nothing.
