FDA is banning trans fat 3 yrs from now. But until then hydrogenated oil is everywhere in most every name brand packaged foods (cookies, hot cocoa mix, peanut butter...) It makes the food tasty, shelf stable and CHEAP. It is bad.
Trans fat is associated with a number of serious and fatal health conditions, including obesity, increased risk for heart attack, stroke, Type 2 diabetes and depression.
