Trans Fats – Otherwise Known As Hidden Killers

The mountain of recent research published on trans fats has demonstrated the severity of introducing trans fats into one’s diet as trans fats harm your body by increasing the risk of heart disease.

They work by boosting the levels of LDL cholesterol in your blood which block arteries and have been linked to cardiovascular disease whilst reducing levels of HDL cholesterol which is vital in the fight against heart disease.

In Britain, unlike in America, trans fats do not have to be listed on food labels. This translates into trans fats appearing in a number of food products the consumer would not expect them to appear in. Even some diet products, which are hailed as a ‘healthy alternative’, contain trans fats which leads to an expanding waist line.
