Commonly, edible vegetable oil is converted from its liquid to solid or semi-solid form through the hydrogenation. The edible vegetable fat produced in this manner may also contain some amount of Trans Fat, whose consumption should be restricted.

Foods with High Fat are often loaded with Saturated Fat and Trans Fat both of which contribute to life style diseases including diabetes, obesity or Cardiovascular.Again, one should not go on the other extreme of having low fat diet as some amount of fat is required for various bodily functions like storing of energy, absorption of fat soluble vitamins such Vitamin A, D, E and K, insulate us and protect vital organs besides synthesis of specific hormones and cell membrane formation.Thus, it is important to eat food which has each nutrient in the right quantity and limit food products that give too much of one nutrient.
