Trans fats are man made by adding hydrogen atoms to vegetable oil. This hydrogenation allows the vegetable oil to remain solid at room temperature just like a saturated animal fat.

What are fats that are worse than saturated fats?
Trans fat
Is saturated fat a trans fat?
No. Trans fats are unsaturated.
Is it polyunsaturated fats or monounsaturated fats or saturated fats or trans fats in cheese?
MOINOSATURATED
Saturated fats and trans fats raise the body's total cholesterol?
Yes, but trans are much worse.
Are hydrogenated oils the same as trans fat?
No, saturated fats and trans fats are different. Saturated fat increases low-density lipoprotein, which is bad for you. Trans fats do the same thing, but also lower high-density lipoprotein, which is good for you. Trans fats are a lot worse.
What hidden fats should you avoid?
Saturated Fat
What are two type of fats?
Saturated and Unsaturated.
Trans fats are considered even worse than saturated fats because trans fats are?
Trans fats have a different structure than saturated fats, specifically the chemical structure is more rigid, allowing them to be solids at room temperature and thus not easily broken down or digested in the body.
How are trans fats similar to both saturated and unsaturated?
Trans fats made from plant sources of fat. Plant fats tend to comprise mostly of unsaturated fatty acids which is why oils are not solid. They are chemically altered to have more hydrogen which results in them being more solid like animal fats such as butter which are higher in saturated fatty acids. Chemically trans fats are unsaturated fats but structurally they are like saturated fats.
What kind of fat is found in donuts?
You are probably referring to "trans" fats. These refer to hydrogenated fats (oils that have added hydrogen through chemical processing and remain solid at room temperature), and their severely unhealthy nature is undisputed.
What is trans fat-?
an unsaturated fatty acid that has been changed to a saturated fatty acid
What are 2 classes of fats?
There are four primary categories of fats. These include monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, saturated fats, as well as trans fats.
