Detailed explanation-1: -Trans fat is considered the worst type of fat to eat.

Detailed explanation-2: -When you do eat processed foods, avoid processed foods known to contain trans fats such as chips, cookies, donuts, icing, cakes, biscuits, microwave popcorn, crackers, fried fast foods and frozen pizzas. Read food labels and avoid foods with partially hydrogenated oil listed as an ingredient.
