Trans fatty acids harm blood vessels more than animal oils

Yang Yuexin said that the general concept is that animal oils (such as lard) are more harmful to the human body than vegetable oils. But artificially partially hydrogenated vegetable oils produce more unhealthy trans fats, which are 3-5 times more likely to cause cardiovascular disease than animal fat. After more than ten years of research, trans fats are currently believed to have the following hazards:

Trans fat not only increases LDL in the blood called malignant cholesterol, but also lowers HDL called benign cholesterol. As a result, blood vessels become "crisp" and lose elasticity. Both changes can cause arterial blockages and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Recent research has confirmed that trans fats increase the risk of diabetes. Trans fat can also be transported to the fetus through the placenta and breast milk, adversely affecting the occurrence and development of its retina, central nervous system and brain
