The food processing is a huge, huge industry and BIG money is involved. It's a lot like the tobacco industry before regulations finally started trickling through. There is few, if any, TV information on the subject because the industry leaders do their best to keep opposing research quiet and unheard. It's terrible because, until they know better, people will go on thinking vegetable shortening is better than lard, because aren't vegetables good for you?
