Health notes
Partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs) are no longer generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA since 2018, which effectively removed most artificial trans fats from the food supply. These oils were the main source of artificial trans fats, which are known to increase "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and decrease "good" cholesterol (HDL), raising the risk of heart disease. JECFA has evaluated trans fatty acids, which are formed during the partial hydrogenation process.
