Trans Fats

There are four different types of fats that our food is made up of: polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, saturated, and trans fats. Though our body needs fat in our diet, the trans fat is the worst one of the four and we don’t need very much of it. It is recommended that we should only consume a maximum of 3 grams daily. It has been found that 5 grams a day for many years increases your risk for heart disease by 25%. Most people consume way too much trans fat in one day. These people should drastically change their eating habits so they don’t take in too much in one day.
