Another Reason to Avoid Trans Fats

[Mitra]

This report (http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=mg19025565.000&feedId=health_rss20) is about a study in which monkeys who ate trans fats (at a level equivalent to one burger meal a day) put on abdominal fat, while another group eating the same number of calories, and same amount of fat, but not trans-fats, didn't gain weight. There's another report here (http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-06/wfub-tfl060506.php) - lots of them about.

edit - I just noticed the PP web-site got there first - they've already linked to an article (http://www.healthday.com/view.cfm?id=533233) about this.
