Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Olive oil that is liquid at room temperature is the healthiest choice for a diet to lower the risk of heart disease. Hydrogenated oils contain trans fats which are known to increase the risk of heart disease. Oils that are modified to be solid at room temperature have undergone a process of hydrogenation, making them less healthy than oils that remain liquid. Lard, which is a form of animal fat, is high in saturated fat and can increase the risk of heart disease.
