Trans Fat

Yet another trend seems to be the fight against trans fat, or partially hydrogenated oils. This ingredient is used solely for the purpose of prolonging shelf-life. It is so bad for you that some European countries have banned its use! You might have noticed that many products now advertise"Zero Trans Fat." However, there are still many products that contain this extremely unhealthy ingredient, so read your labels!
