Jamal's girlfriend insists that margarine is better than butter but he learns that she is wrong in his nutrition course. How can Jamal encourage a discussion with his girlfriend to address thenegative aspects of margarine in the diet?
Trans fatty acids found in margarine may be as likely to boost blood levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol as the saturated fat found in butter. What's more, the research suggests that in large amounts, trans fatty acids lower "good" HDL cholesterol in the blood. In addition, an analysis by researchers at Harvard University suggested that more than 30,000 American deaths each year are attributable to trans fatty acids.
