I might note that as a cardiologist, I have reseached the question of salt and fat in the diet. There is not relationship to disease state. As to transfat, no one knows. But transfats were developed as a method of not using animal fats. Animal fats are perfectly safe and should not be avoided. The whole concept of diet and disease has been so aborted that little real information is available and few absolute facts are known. When I comes to cardiovascular disease, we have likely been wrong about the role of cholesterol over the last 50 years and the illness is one of an unknown inflammation. If we had spent as much time trying to understand the inflammation, we may have been able to cure CV disease.
