This article at junk science shows nicely how the idiot left (mis)uses 'studies' to find whatever they want to find, especially when looking for 'evidence' to shore up their imagined, hysterical crises:

Apples & Oranges, transfats are artificial, and are connected to heart disease. They shouldn't have been in our food chain in the first place.

OK pilgrim, have it your way, but don't complain when you find a thumb in your Dinty Moore Beef Stew.

One thumb in a can of Dinty Moore and we're all over it.
Thirty percent of kids failing to graduate from public schools, and we need to spend more money "for the kids."
Imagine a brake manufacturer who produced brake pads that failed 30 percent of the time. Or, Dinty Moore canned thumbs in 30 percent of their cans.
It's amazing the filters we use when we want to be smart.

Especially amusing is that 40 years ago, government was demonizing regular fats, which brought about the development of the superior trans-fat.
Y'know, tho - they "claim" that banning trans-fats will save 7000 lives a year. But banning alcohol would save so many more...oh, wait.
If they want to save lives, they should ban abortions.
Nope, can't do that; it's a "womens' health" issue. And it's a Right. But some Rights, like abortion, are more important than other rights, like the one about bearing arms. They can hammer on that to their hearts' content. - 11/8/13, 8:19 PM

Well, to clog up your brain arteries some, there's the recent conclusion that LDL and HDL and cholesterol counts do not relate directly to atherosclerosis. Some with high LDL/HDL counts live longer lives that those with lower counts who succumb to artery clogs.
Second hand smoke is unicorn farts. The scientific term is hogwash. The numbers don't show any causative relation between the 'smoke' and disease. Correlation is below accepted statistical norms. In short, its hooey.
So the nannies in DC will do whatever they think is right for you. To you. After all, it is "for the children."
BTW, they will never stop. They are relentless in their zeal to make you life conform to their norm, except that they get the Bimmer and the country cottage, you get the 3rd floor 1 br walkup and the Yougo Coupe.

From the article:
"Still, Americans are eating much less of the fat. According to the FDA, trans fat intake among Americans declined from 4.6 grams per day in 2003 to around one gram in 2012." {there are 454 grams in a pound, so cut your butter into 454 pieces and have one per day...}
75% reduction since aiming their campaign at trans fats, yet:
Quote:"The advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest first petitioned FDA to ban trans fats nine years ago. The group's director, Michael Jacobson, says the prohibition is "one of the most important lifesaving actions the FDA could take.""
CSPIRG is a watermelon organization that Bobby Kennedy Jr is affiliated with, he of Chavez 'free heating oil for the Mass poor' fame.
These zealot groups make a good living crying wolf, the sky is falling and other claims of impending disaster. While being chauffeured and flying in private aircraft, attending conferences at right comfortable places .. on someone else' dime. Remember, some animals are more equal than others.

Decades ago, F. Paul Wilson wrote 'Lipidleggin', addressing this same issue. At the time, I thought it ridiculous. Recently, I found it on the web at
http://billstclair.com/DoingFreedom/000623/df.0600.fa.lipidleggin.html
and re-read it. He was scarily prescient.
