Why is trans in trans fat italicized on nutritional labels?
Trans fats are fats which have been hydrogenised (Hydrogen has been bubbled through so as to artificially saturate the fat). They are much worse for you than other types of fat, as they have been artificially created, and therefore the body does not possess the enzymes necessary to break it down. The process of making trans fats was created because they are cheap and easier to store and transport. However, their use is in serious decline since the health problems associated with them have become known. They are not present in every food, but, for instance, are more common in cheap margarines. In the UK, it is the law that all food products which contain trans fats must have a label declaring so. I hope this was useful.
