About Trans Fats
There are four types of fats used in food: monounsaturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, saturated fat, and trans fat.
Monounsaturated and Polyunsaturated fat : The "good" fats
Saturated fat: There is a conflict of opinion about saturated fat, but the majority consensus is that consumption of saturated fat should be kept low
Trans fat: From partially hydrogenated vegetable oils is the worst kind of fat - worse than saturated fat
Trans Fats Dangerous Effect
Trans fat is an artery-clogging fat that is formed when vegetable oils are hardened through a process of adding hydrogen (hydrogenation). Trans fats are placed into food to increase shelf life. Trans fats cause significant and serious lowering of HDL (good) cholesterol and a serious increase in LDL (bad) cholesterol; make the arteries more rigid; cause clogging of arteries; cause or contribute to type 2 diabetes; and cause or contribute to other serious health problems.
FDA Advisory
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns that "intake of trans fats should be as low as possible" . Beginning in 2006, all nutrition labels must include trans fat content. |
