Trans Fat
Harvard School of Public Health published a piece in December, 2007 as to why Trans Fats should be banished from the Food system. They intrinsically lead to harmful changes in blood fats, systemic inflammation, and abdominal fat (brown fat) and insulin resistance.
This leads to cardiovascular death, diabetes and other chronic disease.
There is no reason for the continued use of Trans Fat in food preparation and suggest voluntary or legislated withdrawal. Tens of thousand of heart attacks would be prevented.

Really,Dr. Joe, Do you realize how much money the CEO of Trans-Fats Inc. would lose if they were just eliminated from all fast foods and all foods in the whole world? He/she might not even have enough for the maintenance on his/her second yacht. Surely a few heart attacks and strokes, or even a few million, pale in comparison to this tragic scenario and, besides, as Mr. Transfat will tell you, there's no proof of anything you're saying.
