A bit of information for those of you who did not actually read the article.

The FDA is planning to take "trans fats" (like hydrogenated seed 
oils) off of the GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) list because the 
science seems to indicate that they are not safe and are damaging to 
human health.  One of the results of such a ruling would be that 
manufacturers of processed foods would no longer be allowed to claim 
that there are no trans fats in a food product whenever the level was 
below 0.5 grams per serving.

The next thing that I would to see pulled from the GRAS list is sugar.
