Trans fat intake is associated with increased risk for many chronic lifestyle conditions like heart disease and cancer.

Natural trans fats are found only in animal foods. Plant foods don't have any trans fats. Artificial trans fats are derived from plant foods through industrial processing: PHOs (Partially Hydrogenated Oils) in particular.

To dial down our trans fat intake to zero, we would have to forego animal products and Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs). Whole plant foods do not have trans fats.

How to minimize trans fat intake? By foregoing Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) with Partially Hydrogenated Oils (PHOs), and by foregoing animal products! For UPFs, governments worldwide have started enacting bans on trans fats.
