What is the reason for avoiding trans fat in heart disease?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It may be harmful for heart health
Trans fats can adversely affect the blood lipid profile by raising harmful LDL cholesterol and lowering protective HDL cholesterol. This may increase the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. They are commonly associated with some partially hydrogenated fats and highly processed foods. Avoiding or minimizing them supports a heart-healthy diet, so option C is correct.
