Trans fats are a produce to "hydrogenation" of oils. Long ago, someone discovered that cooking oils can be modified to keep it from turning "rancid", and can make it turn to the consistency of butter when hydrogen is forced into the oil under pressure. The process is called hydrogenation. Some of the oil molecules do not complete the process and end up being called "trans fats". These types of fats are said to be responsible for corinary disease and have been blamed for other medical conditions as well. The human body has never been able to adequately establish a way to deal with trans fats

What does 'trans' mean in trans fat?
In the context of trans fat, "trans" refers to the chemical structure of the fat molecule. Trans fats are created through the process of hydrogenation, which changes the configuration of double bonds in unsaturated fats. Trans fats are known to be unhealthy and can increase the risk of heart disease.
What are trans fats and how are they helpful or not?
Trans-fats are fats that are formed when oils go through a process called "hydrogenation" to increase their shelf-life. From a food manufacturer's perspective, this is great- it allows you to keep oils from going rancid for much longer times. For you, it's not so great- trans fats negatively affect cholesterol levels and appear to greatly increase the risk of heart attack. One Harvard study found that individuals consuming 4 grams of trans-fat a day were twice as likely to suffer a heart attack as compared to non-trans-fat consuming peers. Eliminating trans-fats is simple- just read the nutrition labels. Under ingredients, avoid any oil listed as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated. "Hydrogenated sunflower oil" "Partially hydrogenated coconut oil" and so on all contain trans fats and should be avoided. Manufacturers are allowed to list a product with .5 grams of trans-fat as 0 grams, so remember that just because a product listed "0 grams of trans fat" doesn't actually mean the product is trans-fat free. Read the ingredients to know for certain!
