Detailed explanation-1: -Trans fats are rare in nature, but are readily produced in an industrial procedure called partial hydrogenation. In this process, hydrogen gas is passed through oils (made mostly of cis-unsaturated fats), converting some – but not all – of the double bonds to single bonds.
Detailed explanation-2: -Trans fats raise your bad (LDL) cholesterol levels and lower your good (HDL) cholesterol levels. Eating trans fats increases your risk of developing heart disease and stroke. It’s also associated with a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Research in animal models suggest natural trans fats may have multiple health benefits, including enhancing immune function, decreasing body fat mass, and preventing or slowing of tumor formation in several types of cancer.
