Why have trans fats been banned from some restaurants? How are they created? a. Trans fat is produced by the hydrogenation of oil that makes it more saturated and isomerized. It increases LDL amounts. b. The dehydrogenation of oil forms the trans fat, which contains single bonds in its structure. This increases HDL in the body and has been banned. c. Trans fat is produced by dehydrogenation of oils, which makes it unsaturated. It increases LDL in body. d. The hydrogenation of oil makes the trans fat, which contains double bonds in its structure. It decreases HDL in the body.
