And i said that in my first post. I said they were bad because the metabolic processes are stearically hindered. (Remember that?)

All i ever said was they're not fake. No defense of TF's. No defending trying not taking them out of foods. Just a technical correction.

And, yes, for the reasons above, our systems are not really designed to deal with more than low levels.

One thing: IIRC, the reason why many food products ended up with hardened oils was twofold: Cheaper coconut oil (although not true anymore), and public health concerns about too much lard and tallow.

So, this might have been a damned if you do, damned if you don't. Not completely sure about this last bit, though.
