There is one thing that everyone in the nutrition field, myself included, agrees on - foods containing artificial trans-fats are absolutely the worst you could eat. Artificial trans-fats are downright dangerous and rather than being minimised, they should be avoided altogether. There are two types of trans-fats - natural and artificial. On the other hand, artificial trans-fats are mainly formed during hydrogenation. In light of the scientific consensus, nutrition authorities worldwide consider all artificial trans-fats harmful to health and recommend that their consumption be reduced to trace amounts, or eliminated altogether.
