A member asked:

Foods used to be cooked in pure trans fats. is the buildup of cholesterol it caused in people still there? or does the body eventually break it down?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Transfats get turned: into LDL chol, which in turn gets stuck on the sides of arteries and causes blockage.The trans-fat itself no longer exists in the body after it has been digested. It has been converted to Triglycerides and Cholesterol particles. Some people accumulate the LDL cholesterol in their arteries, others do not. Some people can likely have decrease in buildup if they eat healthy. http://CardioGauge.com
