Does unhydrogenated vegetable shortening has trans fat?!


Question:

Does unhydrogenated vegetable shortening has trans fat?

I recently bought a loaf of bread on the ingredient list there is unhydrogenated vegetable shortening but on the nutrition panel it says that there is no trans fat so does that mean that unhydrogenated vegetable shortening does not contain trans fat?


Answers:

It may say trans fat free, but there are still saturated fats in it, not as bad as trans fats, and if it is vegetable based it can be less a problem, but saturated fats can still add to the LDL and HDL levels.
