Re: fats used to replace trans fats are dangerous

I'll add that my general rule of thumb for baked goods is that it has
to be fat free or nearly so (and with very little or no cholesterol),
or else the fat has to be at least 75% saturated. If it is, I don't
care about "trans fat" - that is not an issue. The unsaturated bonds
make such foods unhealthy, not the type of bonds. The old nutritional
textbooks make this point, but it's been ignored because the people in
charge have an ideological committment to the notion that "saturated
fat" causes this or that "disease." In fact, the are not even willing
to define "saturated fat" in a way that would allow for
experimentation. Lard, now about 40% saturated, is called a
"saturated fat," which makes no sense whatsoever. Most such studies
really show that those who eat more pork products are less healthy
than those who do not, which does make sense (saturated fatty acids
have nothing to do with it). On my site, I quote recent molecular-
level evidence that explains exactly why such food (pork, "red" meat,
and "processed" meat) is so unhealthy. There is also evidence showing
that steamed salmon and leftover skinned chicken are very unhealthy.
