I know this is nothing new, but I just wanted to remind everyone to stay away from dangerous trans-fatty acids. This is the result of hydrogenation, or the process of adding hydrogen to unsaturated fatty-acids to make them harder at room temperature for the sake of storage. These fatty-acids have a proven link in the increase of (LDL) or bad cholesterol and the decrease in (HDL) or good cholesterol.
Read all labels carefully, this fatty-acid can be found in everything processed, (not great either) from canned beans to peanuts.
Look for partially hydrogenated oils in all of your labels and amke it a point to- DO NOT CONSUME!!!
