Why transfat bad for health?
As far as I know,trans fat is just as bad for you as saturated fat. Why we pick on trans fat is because of the trans part. That means WE have hydrogenated the fat (transferred it) to make it stay solid at room temperature. (Yumy!) So basically a trans fat is a fat that was once a little healthier, and we adjusted it to make it a hideous, artery-blocking obesity inducer.
