Trans fats-transparently bad

So at last the word is out that trans fats, or hydrogenated fats, are bad for you. The news came out in a Food and Drug Administration notice that the amount of trans fat in any food item must be disclosed on the food label. Not so fast there, food manufacturer! You actually have until January 2006 to let us know how much of the artery-clogging fats we are taking in with all those processed foods and snacks. What is not so funny in all of this is that food scientists have known for at least the last 35 years that trans fats are transparently bad for you.
