WHAT ARE TRANS FATS AND HOW
CAN YOU BEST IDENTIFY THEM ON A
FOOD LABEL
Answer
Home
Trans Fats:
• Trans Fats are a synthetic by - product of the process of
hydrogenation (changing a liquid into a solid)
• These fats were created in part to increase the shelf life of a food
• You may find these fats in stick margarines, crackers, baked goods,
snack foods, fried foods, salad dressings, and many other
processed foods.
Finding them on a label:
• Look for the words “hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated” in the
listing of ingredients.
• Just because the labels says zero trans fats doesn’t mean it is
completely free of them. Legally they can boast 0 trans fats if there
is < .5 gms per serving.
• These fats have been shown to lower your good cholesterol (HDL)
and increase your bad cholesterol (LDL).
• Your goal is to consume 0% of your calories from this fat!!!
