Trans fats are a type of mostly man-made fat that the food industry loves, but our hearts and blood vessels donât. In the late 19th century, chemists discovered that they could add hydrogen atoms to unsaturated fats by bubbling hydrogen gas through vegetable oil in the presence of a nickel catalyst.
Packaged snacks, such as potato chips and cheese-flavored curls, can contain trans fats. Frozen pizza is another source of trans fat. A serving of certain brands of frozen pizza can contain up to 4 grams of these harmful fats. A serving of sandwich crackers, which is equal to 14 pieces, has 2 grams of trans fat.
