Consider what you have already learned about biomolecules and cellular function. In recent years, the danger of hydrogenated oils has come to light, resulting in a shift away from products such as margarine. Find a recent article on trans fats and address the following in your discussion post: Provide the article citation, including title, author, date, and source. Summarize the point of the article. Provide a brief description of how manufactured trans fats are different from natural forms of fat found in plants and animals. Based on what you have learned in this course so far, decide whether you think the article findings are biologically sound. ?Do you think the article presents sufficient scientific evidence to support its claims? ?Do you consider the source to be reliable? Why or why not? ?If you had to check the facts involved, how might you go about doing it? Based on your research, should manufactured trans fats be banned? Why or why not?
