Trans fat is much worse than saturated fat.
There are no redeeming qualities of trans fat!
Here is a simple and rough breakdown of the fats, and how much you need them on a scale of 1 to 10.
Trans = 0
Saturated = 3 (more like a 5 for building muscle)
Unsaturated (Poly and Mono) = 9
Your diet should consist of no less than 20% fat. I would try to keep it at 0% trans, 5% (up to 10% for muscle gain) saturated, and the leftover unsaturated. Testosterone comes from the cholesterol contained in saturated fat.
I wouldn't say "more fattening" but it is worse for your heart and can build up blockages which are very unhealthy.
nope...all long chained fatty acids contain 9 calories per gram. it is the molecular structure that makes trans fats differ from other types of fats. basically the way trans fats effect humans is that the cellular membrane of all cells are made from fatty acids. so when these inferior fats are used they cause defects in the cell membrane will allow virus, bacteria, etc. to penetrate the cell.
