They can create a higher risk of heart disease.
Just the difference between cis and trans isomers. The arrangement of functional groups around double bonded carbons. Same groups lined up on the same side are cis fatties and alternate groups lined up on the different sides are trans fatty acids.
The trans fatty acid has a higher melting point. The trans isomer is straighter in shape and this allows the molecules to be packed closer together. The molecules are hence held together by greater Van der Waal's force.
The disadvantages of hydrogenating fats and oils is that the human body cannot use trans fats in the same manner it uses natural unsaturated fats. Also trans fats raises the levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood.
Trans-fatty acids are made artificially by hydrogenating non saturated fats. One of the more common ingredients is hydrogenated vegetable oil or shortening.
CIS fatty acids are the most common form. They rearrange to form trans fatty acids during the hydrogenation of edible oils.

No, not all fatty acids can be synthesized by the body. The body is not capable of synthesizing polyunsaturated or trans fatty acids.
Litchis contain a lot of Protein & Amino Acids. They also give us essential fatty acids like Omega - 3 and 6 fatty acids, trans-polyenoic fatty acids, trans-monoenoic fatty acids etc.
Yes, and is actually worse than the sys form of fatty acids. The only difference between sys and trans fatty acids are the angles of the molecules. In nature, only sys fatty acids are made, but through chemistry (or through over heating oils), we are able to make trans fatty acids. The problem is that your body can only recognize the sys form. So if you have sys fatty acids in your body, your body knows how to remove them, but if you have trans fatty acids in your body, your body doesn't know how to remove them. As a result the trans fatty acids build up in your system and can cause heart disease. Sys fatty acids can cause heart disease also, but since your body is constantly removing them, it forms slower than the trans form.
No, trans-fatty acids raises LDL and lowers HDL. Omega-3 Fatty Acids help reduce LDL and raise HDL. Omega-3 Fatty Acids are found in fish, flaxseed, nuts and soy.
Prepared meals are loaded with more saturated and trans fatty acids that are harmful in large quantities. The best to go is to make home cooked meals with organic food.
