I think so. I don't know much about trans fat. The time-honored problem with hydrogenated oils is that they are man-made saturated fat. Un-saturated fat is useful... bonds to nutrients, and are building blocks that can contribute to health. This healthy aspect also supports growth of bacteria, etc. So to increase shelf life the fats are artificially saturated (hydrogenated), thus reducing the fat to simple, hard to digest calories that like to stick to the walls of your arteries.
