The recent addition of trans fat information to the Nutrition Facts labels on food products, combined with news media reports and activists warnings, have brought these fats to the forefront of public concern.
In a national survey conducted in November 2005, 81 percent of a representative sample of U.S. consumers reported being aware of trans fats, and 54 percent indicated that they were trying to decrease their trans fat consumption (IFIC Foundation, 2006).

An October 30, 2006 piece by Eric "SciGuy" Berger notes ACSH's trans fat position:

This letter appeared on October 12, 2006 in the Wall Street Journal.
