do cooking oils contain trans fat
In partial hydrogenation, the resulting fats are semi-solid at room temperature. In full hydrogenation, the oils become completely solid. The problem with partially hydrogenated oils is that they contain trans fat, which raises LDL (âbadâ) cholesterol, lowers HDL (âgoodâ) cholesterol and has other harmful effects. In contrast, fully hydrogenated oils, in essence, become saturated fatsâbut they contain no trans fat.
