Heating vegetable oil will *NOT* in and of itself convert it into
transfat. Hydrogenation occurs in a pressurized environment in which the
oil is heated above 500-degrees Fahrenheit in the presence of metal
catalysts (e.g., nickel, zinc, copper) and hydrogen gas. Such is *VERY
UNLIKELY* to occur in one's kitchen.
