There is compelling evidence that trans fatty acids and saturated fatty acids increase bad cholesterol in our blood, a key indicator for heart disease. In addition, trans fatty acids may also decrease good cholesterol. While the adverse effects on blood lipid profiles caused by comparable levels of transfatty acids are greater than those posed by saturated fatty acids, the trans fatty acid intakes of Australians and New Zealanders are much lower than intakes of saturated fatty acids.
