A member asked:
Does trans fat leave the body or does it stay inside for the rest of your life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Science: I am not sure that i understand your question. When you eat food they are digested. If you eat food with 'transfats' they are digested and sent to the liver and then the rest of the body for energy. Excess energy is then made into fat storage molecules known as triglycerides for fat storage. Trans fats do not stay as 'trans fats'.
