Trans Fat
Trans fat elevates bad cholesterol (LDL) and lowers good cholesterol (HDL). It not only contributes to weight gain but also poses risks to cardiovascular health by damaging blood vessels. A tablespoon of trans fat contains approximately 100 calories, making it a concerning addition to your diet.
Oil frying is the most common source of trans fat. Picture your deep-fried fries, chicken, etc. Instead, it would be best to opt for healthier alternatives, such as grilling and air frying. [2] [3]
