Those nasty trans fats are the ones described as 'hydrogenated' or 'partly hydrogenated' on the label.
Doing that increases their shelf life (and manufacturers profits), but they are harder to digest.
I agree entirely with Entwisi - natural fats are best.
I only use butter and olive oil in preparing food.

"Trans fats are much less well-known than saturated fats but are much more damaging. They are very bad for the heart, play a key role in the UK's very high levels of heart disease and contribute to a large number of the excess coronary deaths we have in this country,"
