High consumption of trans-fats causes an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD).
Avoid trans-fats. They are linked to an increased risk of coronary heart disease. Check labels for 'partially hydrogenated oils' and choose foods with healthier fats like olive oil, nuts, and seeds.
High trans-fats ... CHD
Why this rating
The paper classifies the evidence for trans-fats and CHD as 'probable or convincing' based on Bradford-Hill criteria.
