Your heart will thank you (and you won’t taste the difference).
- There are good fats and bad fats. Trans fat is the most dangerous – even worse than saturated fat.
- Trans fat increases your risk of heart disease by raising “bad” (LDL) cholesterol and lowering “good” (HDL) cholesterol.
- Trans fat is found in “partially hydrogenated” vegetable oils and shortening and in many packaged and restaurant foods.
- Cutting trans fat out of your diet is getting easier. Food tastes just as good without it. But your heart knows the difference!
The Trans Fat Health Bulletin: http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/downloads/pdf/email/dohmhnews5-09.pdf tells you how to cut Trans Fats out of your meals and how to maintain a heart-healthy diet.
