The artificially formed Trans Fat increases LDL cholesterol (i.e. bad cholesterol) level and reportedly reduces HDL Cholesterol (i.e. Good one) which may lead to cardiac problem. There is a global movement to encourage Food Products to be Trans Fat free.The Indian Food law requires the company to state that product contains Trans Fat if content of Trans Fat is more than 0.2 gms per serving size. Keep trans fat consumption as low as possible by avoiding foods that states Contain Trans fats on their packages Energy available from a food is based on Carbohydrate, Fat and Protein present in it.

Thus, it is important to eat food which has each nutrient in the right quantity and limit food products that give too much of one nutrient.
