"Hydrogenated vegetable fat has been removed from the popular chocolate bar because of its links with high cholesterol levels and heart disease.

Thank God. This has nothing to do with losing weight. This is about removing a substance in foods that bonds the plaque onto your arteries just so a snack food can taste crispy.

Were saturated fats replaced by trans-fats because the trans-fats were superior or cheaper, or were they replaced because saturated fats have to be listed on food labels and are considered "bad" while trans-fats don't have to be listed?
