One of the reasons that partially hydrogenated oils are used is to increase the product's shelf life, but they decrease your shelf life. Trans fats cause significant and serious lowering of HDL (good) cholesterol and a significant and serious increase in LDL (bad) cholesterol; make the arteries more rigid; cause major clogging of arteries; cause insulin resistance; cause or contribute to type 2 diabetes; and cause or contribute to other serious health problems.

Trans fats are worse than saturated fats for your health, especially in terms of raising bad cholesterol levels. Avoiding them is better for your health.
