Consumers are becoming more aware of the dangers of trans fats in foods. The artificial fat increases the chance of heart disease and increases the bad cholesterol while simultaneously decreasing the good cholesterol.

Domingo Pinero tells the Washington Square News that “these fats are abnormal, so when they get into cell membranes, they’re not processed the same way as normal fat.”

Pinero believes that it is difficult for people to make healthy choices when trans fats are everywhere, but advises, “Take it out, and then people have an option.”
