As health consciousness rises, people are paying close attention to the types of oils they consume. While opinions differ on the superiority of animal fat, plant-based oil, saturated fat, unsaturated fat, the harmful effects of trans fat on the body are widely agreed upon. Dr. Li Sihuan explains that artificial trans fat found in processed foods like margarine, shortening, hydrogenated vegetable oils, and refined vegetable oils can lead to inflammation, atherosclerosis, insulin resistance, and bone health issues.
