BY Mamie Doris 2018-05-01Trans fatty acids can raise cholesterol, can increase "bad" cholesterol, lower "good" cholesterol, and increase the risk of coronary heart disease. They are mostly used in processed foods, such as bread, biscuits, instant noodles, cakes, snacks, potato chips, shortbread, etc. The trans-fatty acid content of these processed foods is indicated on the label nutrition composition table. Some products mark the content of trans fatty acid as zero, which does not necessarily mean that it is completely free, but can be marked as "0" as long as the content is less than 3％.8
