Gareth, mark and all,

With respect to coronary arteries (and I should know), there is a wide difference
between the two.  In approximate order from best (helpful) to shear white death:

        poly unsaturated oil    helpful     safflower, some other seed & nut
        mono saturated          neutral     peanut, olive

            Sesame seed oil is a mix that is mostly on the good side.

        saturated oil
        bacon grease
        butter

       === death below: "hydrogenated"  ========
        many snack foods
        most margarines
        Crisco & other solid shortenings

And Scott, you are quite correct:
Anything with "hydrogenated" as significant ingredient  is particularly bad.
Mark, this is not just  "this years Bad Guy", it has been known for at least 15
years.

As this is somewhat off topic, anyone who is seriously interested in the whys and
wherefores reply to me, and I'll get back.

Andy.
