Trans fats are a type of unsaturated fat that have at least one double bond in a trans configuration, meaning the hydrogen atoms are on opposite sides of the double bond. This structural arrangement contrasts with cis fats, where the hydrogen atoms are on the same side, leading to a straighter molecule. Trans fats can be naturally occurring or artificially created through hydrogenation, which solidifies liquid oils. Their unique structure impacts their physical properties and health effects, often increasing the risk of Heart disease.
