A member asked:
Can trans-fats cause some people to become overly angry and irritable? if so, is this due to the trans-fats causing massive inflammation in the brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No evidence on that: There is no reliable scientific evidence which links trans fat to specific changes in personality such as irritability and anger. There is certainly no neurological evidence by imaging studies or physical signs that any type of inflammation occurs in the brain.
