I thought that with trans fats largely disappearing from labels, I could start enjoying some of the processed foods on occasion. I guess I still can, but I'll stick largely to natural foods, which was my instinct several years ago.

Interesterified fat, which puts the (cis) PUFA on the 1 or 3 carboxylate, as opposed to a trans PUFA on #2. In nature, #1 and #3 are saturated, so this is a new, strange triglyceride. However, this can be used in processed foods, and the package can say "no trans fat". Let the buyer beware? There’s now a new fat, created to replace trans-fats.
