Understanding the Dangers of Trans Fats. Today, we’re diving into one of the most overlooked yet highly impactful issues in our modern food landscape: trans fats.

Why does this matter? Because what we eat has a profound effect on our health, and trans fats are a prime example of how something hiding in plain sight on our plates can quietly shape our long-term well-being. Found in many processed and fried foods, these fats can have serious consequences, from raising cholesterol levels to increasing the risk of heart disease.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear understanding of what trans fats are, how they’re created, where they commonly show up in our diets, and why they’re so dangerous to our health. Most importantly, we’ll discuss practical tips on how to spot them on ingredient labels and make smarter food decisions to avoid them. Whether you’re trying to improve your eating habits or just curious about what’s in your food, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you take control of your nutrition
