FOTD: Avoid Trans Fat
As cities around the country ban trans fats, many people may wonder why they are so bad for you. The latest statistic I’ve found is shocking!
Even 1g trans fat daily increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by 20%!
- Chicken Nuggets contain 4g of trans fat
- A Donut contain 5g trans fat
If you see trans fat on the ingredients – avoid it! Trans fats are items such as partially hydrogenated vegetable oil.
