Health notes
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs) are no longer generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food, effective in 2018. This action was taken because PHOs are the primary source of artificial trans fat in the diet. Scientific evidence indicates that artificial trans fat raises 'bad' (LDL) cholesterol and lowers 'good' (HDL) cholesterol, which can increase the risk of heart disease. The removal of PHOs from the GRAS list has significantly reduced artificial trans fat in the food supply.
