Detailed explanation-1: -Trans fat is considered the worst type of fat to eat. Unlike other dietary fats, trans fats-also called trans-fatty acids-raise “bad” cholesterol and also lowers “good” cholesterol. A diet laden with trans fats increases the risk of heart disease, the leading killer of adults.

Detailed explanation-2: -Limiting saturated and trans fats Maintain a diet that emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, poultry, fish and nuts. Also limit red meat and sugar-sweetened foods and beverages. Opt for naturally occurring unhydrogenated vegetable oils such as canola, safflower, sunflower or olive oil.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eating good fats in place of saturated fat can also help prevent insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes. (16) So while saturated fat may not be as harmful as once thought, evidence clearly shows that unsaturated fat remains the healthiest type of fat.
