A November 1, 2006 piece by Michael O'Riordan mentioned the American Heart Association's skepticism about the trans fat ban and notes ACSH's objection to the ban:
In addition to the ACC, the proposed ban to eliminate trans fat and to make caloric labeling mandatory was supported by a number of other organizations, including the American Diabetes Association, National Hispanic Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Center for Science in the Public Interest. The New York State Restaurant Association and the National Restaurant Association did not endorse the ban on trans fat, telling the board of health that the well-intentioned plan was not fully thought out and would adversely affect small business owners. The American Council on Science and Health also does not support the ban, saying there are concerns that eliminating trans fat from restaurants will lead to increased consumption of saturated fat, thereby offsetting any potential health benefits.
