There is no healthy level in trans fat and trans fat can clog up the pipes feeding the heart and brain, resulting in heart attacks or strokes. It increases low-density lipoprotein or LDL, more commonly known as bad cholesterol, and decreases HDL, the good cholesterol.

Its smoothness and high melting point make it a great medium for creamy fillings in cookies. In a deep-fat fryer, it can take repeated heatings without breaking down.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://hypocol.wetpaint.com/page/HypoCol+Nutrition">Many companies have not exactly found an alternative which tastes just as good and works just as well, and it is used as it is a cheaper option.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/34232703-EF49-46A8-8A48-DA2CAC35C7E9/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
