You are probably referring to "trans" fats. These refer to hydrogenated fats (oils that have added hydrogen through chemical processing and remain solid at room temperature), and their severely unhealthy nature is undisputed.
Yes, and is actually worse than the sys form of fatty acids. The only difference between sys and trans fatty acids are the angles of the molecules. In nature, only sys fatty acids are made, but through chemistry (or through over heating oils), we are able to make trans fatty acids. The problem is that your body can only recognize the sys form. So if you have sys fatty acids in your body, your body knows how to remove them, but if you have trans fatty acids in your body, your body doesn't know how to remove them. As a result the trans fatty acids build up in your system and can cause heart disease. Sys fatty acids can cause heart disease also, but since your body is constantly removing them, it forms slower than the trans form.
