Even tiny bits of trans fat can make you much more likely to have a heart attack or stroke.

Scientific Claim

Dietary intake of trans fatty acids, even at low levels, is causally associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

Original Statement

“Even the mainstream health organizations, they agree with this. Even small amounts have been heavily linked to increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. In fact, research estimates that by simply eliminating trans fats from the food supply, that could eliminate tens of thousands of heart attacks per year in the United States alone.”
