All of us know that there are alot of different types of fats such as saturated fatty acids, mono unsaturated fatty acids and poly unsaturated fatty acids. Today I would like to share with some information on trans fat.
I believe everyone of you have heard of trans fat, but some of you may still not be very sure what they actually are.
Trans fat is actually very bad for our health and studies have shown that it leads to an increase of bad cholesterol.
They are actually formed when vegetable oil goes through a process called “hydrogenation”, meaning subjecting vegetable oil to intense heat and nickel. (Think of deep fried food , your favourite fast food….)
Yes, they are delicious 
but extremely bad for health 
as the body do not require them at all !
Excessive consumption can lead to other dieseases besides heart diesease.
Having said that, however, our body still need a certain right amount of essentail fatty acids as it aids in producing “prostaglandin” which helps to control blood pressure, preventing blood clotting in the arteries.
I recommend that people should cut down on excessive consumtion of food such as deep fried food, fast food , margarine etc.
