Wikipedia
trans fatty acid
Trans fat, also called trans-unsaturated fatty acids, or trans fatty acids, is a type of unsaturated fat that occurs in foods. Trace concentrations of trans fats occur naturally, but large amounts are found in some processed foods. Since consumption of trans fats is unhealthy, artificial trans fats are highly regulated or banned in many nations. However, they are still widely consumed in developing nations, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. Serious interest has been given to determining their sources, to better avoid them.

trans fatty acid
Trans fatty acid, also known as trans fat, is a type of unsaturated fat that occurs in small amounts in meat and milk fat. It also can be produced industrially in a process called hydrogenation, which is used to convert liquid vegetable oils into solid or semi-solid fats like margarine and shortening. These artificially produced trans fats are considered unhealthy due to their propensity to raise "bad" (LDL) cholesterol levels and lower "good" (HDL) cholesterol levels, in turn increasing the risk of heart disease. The structure of trans fatty acid is unique as its hydrogen atoms are on opposite sides of the carbon chain.
