Editor's note: One thing that food consumers need to be aware of is that zero trans fat on the nutrition facts table for a processed food does not really mean zero. When trans fat present in a food does not exceed 0.5 grams per serving, the food manufacturer can legally say "trans fat: zero". The key is the serving size, which is defined by the manufacturer. When the serving size is small enough, any food can have "zero trans fat." We are happy to see that many big restaurants such as McDonald's and Pizza Hat stop using partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (trans fat). Harvard researchers have found up to 100,000 deaths from heart disease in the united States have something to do with trans fat.
