Have you been to the local fast food joint lately? If you have
chances are that you have brought home this ugly menace known
as trans fat.
Trans fats are unsaturated, but can still raise your bad cholesterol
while lowering your good cholesterol. Trans fats result from
adding hydrogen to vegetable oils that are used in cooking in
commercial baked goods, restaurants and fast food places.
The process changes a liquid oil, naturally high in unsaturated
fatty acids, to a more solid and more saturated form. The greater
the degree of hydrogenation, the more saturated the fat becomes.
Cookies, crackers or other commercially baked goods can be
high in trans fats. Donuts, French fries and other commercially
fried goods are also typically high in trans fats.
Recent studies suggest that these fats may raise blood
cholesterol. The fatty acid content of most margarine's and
spreads is printed on the package or label. Liquid and soft
tub margarine contain little saturated fat or trans fat.
So cut down on the French fries and crackers. You don’t
have to never eat them again, just be aware of what your
eating and adjust accordingly, your heart and belly will thank
you for it.
Make it a great day!
