Howdy. Love the blog and have spent the past week (or a bit longer?) making my way through the archives. The mention of the Center for "Science" in the Public "Interest" caught my eye here. A few things should be noted about that particular organization. Despite their moniker, they are not a collection of scientists but, rather, a vegetarian advocacy group. Also, their attack on trans fats (which truly are a dietary horror) is particularly hypocritical because the widespread usage of partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (the primary source of trans fats) can be directly attributed to their lawsuit against McDonald's for frying potatoes in beef tallow. CSPI's own previous reports indicate that trans fats are virtually harmless (See "Trans Fats Not Guilty As Charged"). If only they'd sue themselves out of existence.
