Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trans-fatty acids are naturally found in some foods, particularly in small amounts in meat and dairy products from ruminant animals. They are also industrially created through hydrogenation of vegetable oils, a process not involving oxidation. They are not considered beneficial, essential, or antioxidants; in fact, consumption of trans fats is linked to negative health effects, including heart disease.
