Trans Fats and EFA's

I read in "Nourishing Traditions" that overconsumption of trans fats can lead to an inability to utilize EFA's. I have consumed my share of trans fats (though not anymore), but I was wondering if I can perhaps still utilize EFA's, since I noticed that when I consumed flax seed oil regularly my skin looked a lot healthier. What are people's opinions on this? Obviously something's working, right? Tweet
