The Hidden Heart Killer: The One Food You Must Avoid! Dr. Mandell

In this video, we delve into the alarming truth about trans fats, often dubbed the “hidden heart killer”. Trans fats are a type of unsaturated fat that can be found in both natural and artificial forms. However, it’s the artificial trans fats, commonly found in processed foods, baked goods, and fried fast foods, that pose a significant threat to your heart health. Consuming trans fats increases your levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol while simultaneously lowering HDL (good) cholesterol. This dangerous combination leads to the buildup of plaque in your arteries, contributing to a higher risk of heart diseases, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Despite being widely recognized as harmful, trans fats can still lurk in many of our favorite snacks and meals, hidden under labels like “partially hydrogenated oils”. By educating yourself about these hidden dangers and diligently checking food labels, you can take crucial steps to protect your heart health. Watch this video to learn more about why trans fats should be the one food you must avoid to ensure a healthier, longer life.
