Trans Fats Have Been Linked to a Variety of Undesirable

Trans fats have been linked to a variety of undesirable health complications that have historically been associated with saturated fats; what do the two types of molecules share in common that may account for their health impacts?

A) Both molecules form solid assemblies at body temperature and clog small blood vessels.
B) Both molecules are rich in hydrogen that can easily form hydrogen ions and lower the pH to harmful values.
C) Both molecules are linear; for reasons not currently understood linear fatty acids appear to be more difficult to metabolize and have high biological activities.
D) Both molecules are rapidly converted to signal molecules called prostaglandins, creating discordant signaling within the body.
