Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
trans fatty acid causes
A
Increases bad cholesterol
B
Reduces the risk of heart diseases
C
Increases good cholesterol
D
None of them
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Trans fats raise your LDL (bad) cholesterol. They lower your HDL (good) cholesterol. High LDL along with low HDL levels can cause cholesterol to build up in your arteries (blood vessels). This increases your risk for heart disease and stroke.

Detailed explanation-2: -Trans fatty acids raise LDL cholesterol levels, similarly to saturated fatty acids. However, trans fatty acids do not raise HDL cholesterol levels, as do saturated fatty acids.

Detailed explanation-3: -All saturated fatty acids, with the notable exception of stearic acid (C18:0), raise low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. A few less ubiquitous fatty acids also have LDL cholesterol effects. Trans-monounsaturated fatty acids, at equivalent doses of saturated fatty acids, raise LDL cholesterol.

Detailed explanation-4: -Trans fatty acids (TFA) lower HDL and increase triglyceride concentrations while polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) lower triglycerides and may decrease HDL concentrations.
