There's some disagreement out there as to whether high temperature alone can change a fat into a trans-fat. Schwartzbein says yes, but the Eades, quoting studies by Dr. Mary G. Enig of the University of Maryland, say that the process also requires a chemical catalyst.

Ruth, very interesting information. I have Mary Enig's book, but haven't read it yet. All this fat info can get a bit mind boggling, huh?  I try to simplify it all by only cooking with butter, coconut oil or olive oil. Probably the only thing in my life I've ever simplified.
