Can you tell me if trans fats are really harmful or are they the latest nutrition scare?

Trans fats are bad: Trans fats are definitely bad! They are made in the lab to have a very long shelf life. Not good. Avoid foods made in labs.

BAD BAD BAD: Trans fat is considered by many doctors to be the worst type of fat you can eat. Unlike other dietary fats, trans fat — also called trans-fatty acids — both raises your LDL ("bad") cholesterol and lowers your HDL ("good") cholesterol.
