There's an op-ed piece in today's NY Times by Corby Kummer. Since the NYC Health Commissioner has sent letters to restaurants recommending eliminating shortening as a cooking/baking fat, Kummer's recommending lard as a substitute. This is not without scientific merit. Lard has a relatively low percentage of saturated fat and high percentage of monounsaturated fat for an animal product.


I think it has trans-fats however. 

IIRC, trans-fats are only found in oils that are artificially hydrigenated.
