I am very suprised that chicken boulioun rated so far above fast food french fries. It's also interesting the vanilla samwich cookies are worse then the chocolate ones.

The Bullion is very high by percentage. But, the grams are low. This is likely because Bullion Cubes are small. French Fries by grams have more Trans-Fat than Bullion, but less by percentage. I don't know why the Vanilla Oreos (?) have more Trans-Fat than the Regular ones. As for Lard, I believe it has a very small amount of Natural Trans-Fats...and some are partially hydrogenated to extend shelf life
Natural Trans-Fats from everything I've read are not the same as the fake Hydrogenated Oils. In fact, at least one (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) is beneficial...The majority of Natural Trans-Fat in many Animal products comes from CLA. I can't find the info on Lard, but 0.212g of CLA is present for every 100g of Butter.
