Trans Fat is harmful to your heart


Do you love eating packaged or baked foods? If your answer yes, then I’d advise you to cut down on the quantity you eat; better yet, stop eating them completely. Why? Because they are not good for your health (especially if you are above forty) due to the trans-fat they contain.

Trans fats are fats that are formed through an industrial process that adds hydrogen to vegetable oils, which causes the oils to become solid at room temperature. Hence, these oils are referred to as partially-hydrogenated oils (PHOs).
