Trans fats are artificially produced fats and are very unhealthy. The consumption of trans fats is one of the main causes for the obesity epidemic. Trans fats are used in thousands of food products.
The health risks of trans fats include obesity, cancer, clogged arteries, high cholesterol, hart disease, diabetes, birth defects, allergies in children, etc.
Food manufactures use (partially) hydrogenated oils because it increases the shelf life of food products. This means less spoilage, less loss and therefore more profit!
Do your health a big favor and remove this toxic chemical out of your diet!
