The Claim
Dietary trans fatty acids from processed foods are associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease, likely through the promotion of systemic inflammation and adverse lipid changes.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating foods with trans fats, like fried snacks and baked goods, might raise your risk of heart disease because they can cause body-wide swelling and mess up your cholesterol levels.
