The "Other" Trans Fat

Did you know that the trans fatty acids that occur naturally in beef and other ruminant meat is actually good for you, unlike the trans fat produced from hydrogenating vegetable oils? I just learned this today.

I'm going off of only a few resources but I don't think this is even controversial like my feelings about saturated fat. Weird that you never hear about it. I guess the amounts anyone would eat are too small to ever really worry about either way.
