Trans fat is not healthy, but dangerous and trans fat does not have any health benefits that our body needs. But the World Health Organization warns that it is likely to cause serious health problems. The World Health Organization has recently awarded five countries with certificates of appreciation for taking a policy decision to no longer produce trans fat products. Currently 53 countries are following this policy. This has improved the food hygiene of 3.7 billion of the world’s population.

The World Health Organization says that it is happy to see that many countries are implementing this decision, especially Denmark, Poland, Saudi Arabia, and Thailand.

Trans fat is used to keep things from going bad for a long time… Trans fat is a type of unsaturated fat. It can be found naturally or manufactured synthetically. Meat and dairy products naturally contain trans fat. But factory-made trans fats are hydrogenated to vegetable oil and solidified at room temperature. As a result, the food items sold in bags do not spoil for a long time.
