Trans Fats and Heart Disease: What a Massive Harvard Study Found
Dr. Kumar’s Take:
This large study of over 85,000 women provides strong evidence that eating more trans fats—like those found in margarine, cookies, and processed foods—raises the risk of heart disease. Even after accounting for other factors like smoking, exercise, and cholesterol, the link remained strong. Not all fats are equal. This study reinforces that trans fats are some of the most harmful. Aim to cut them out wherever possible.
