Trans fats
Are trans-fats also present?

Although Benecol contains plant stanol esters, does it also contain trans-fat acids (possibly created as a part of the hydrogenation process)? Therefore, with respect to CVD and cholesterol, could the case be that any beneficial effects of ingredients in Benecol are counteracted by other components in the product?Honeybadger69 (talk) 04:24, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Hydrogenation process is not used in manufacture of margarine (with the exception of some industrial margarines). Margarines contain only negligible amount of trans fats, typically 0.2 to 0.3%. Benecol contains 0.2% of trans fats, see Finelli: Margarine 60%, Benecol, Lactose-Free. In comparison, butter contains typically 2.0% of trans fats, see Finelli: Butter. --PauliKL (talk) 13:57, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
