YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Trans fats, also known as trans fatty acids, are unsaturated fats that can occur naturally or be artificially created. In the Caribbean, they have become a significant public health concern due to their links to various health issues, including cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes. Naturally occurring trans fats are found in small amounts in meat and dairy products from ruminant animals like cows, sheep, and goats. However, the more concerning type is industrially produced trans fats, which are created through the partial hydrogenation of vegetable oils. These are commonly found in fast foods, margarines, shortenings, packaged baked goods such as cookies and pastries, and fried foods.
