hidrogenado

hidrogenado

This is a fat that has been chemically altered from a liquid (oil) to a solid fat. Margarines, for example, are hydrogenated fats, and contain trans fatty acids. Over consumption of these can raise cholesterol in the blood even though the original fats were vegetable oils, which as unsaturated fats, do not raise cholesterol. (See Fat).
