Trans fatty acids Solidified fat formed by adding an extra hydrogen to monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats to increase shelf life (solid at room temperature). This type of fat can be found in almost all processed foods.  Scientific evidence has shown that consuming trans fats raises LDL(low density lipoprotein) or bad cholesterol, which increases the risk of coronary heart disease(CHD).  Over 500,000 people die every year from CHD.

Start paying attention to the food labels you are consuming and limit the amount of Trans Fats! don’t become a statistic.
