A member asked:
What diseases are caused from a lack of trans fat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: Most trans fats in our diet are a by product of hydrogenating unsaturated vegetable fats, a process used in the food industry to change the melting point of the fats. They are not essential to our diet, although research has shown they increase levels of LDL, and can promote atherosclerosis.
