What are trans fats and how do they affect me?
Dare has many products available now without trans fats (see specific product information) & is committed to continue developing new products without trans fats. To make foods that stay fresh longer on the shelf or to get a solid fat product (e.g. some margarine), hydrogen would be added to polyunsaturated oils, creating trans-fatty acids, or trans fats. In clinical studies, trans fats tend to raise total blood cholesterol levels. They also tend to raise LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and lower HDL (“good”) cholesterol.
