Health notes
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined in 2015 that partially hydrogenated oils are no longer generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food, with the compliance date for removal being 2018. This action effectively removed most artificial trans fat from the food supply. Scientific evidence has linked the consumption of artificial trans fats to an increased risk of heart disease by raising "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and lowering "good" cholesterol (HDL). JECFA has also evaluated trans fatty acids, noting their adverse health effects.
