Hi Angela:
I'll try and find something for you. I read it in "Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill", as well as The Schwarzbein Principle". Probably Mary Enig's book, Know Your Fats talks about it, but I haven't yet read it.
I guess the easiest way to think of it is that Smart Balance is a polyunsaturated fat, right? If you take any vegetable oil and heat it at high temperatures, you damage the fat, which makes it harmful. You change the molecular structure from a healthy fat ("cis") to a damaged fat ("trans").
Let me do a search and see what I can come up with for you. It can all get a little confusing, huh?
