The significance of transfatty acids in oils is that we cannot metabolize them. Their counterpart is "cis fats", which are curled, but trans fats are straight. Since they aren't metabolized, they're stored in low-density lipids (LDL) -- the "bad" kind of triglycerides on the doctor's lab reports -- which leads to artery disease, heart attacks and strokes.
