Trans fats and weight gain

Trans fats might also be the fat most likely to lead to weight gain.

A new study in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that infants whose mothers consumed more than 4,5 grams of transfats per day while breastfeeding were twice as likely to have high percentages of body fat than those who had less.

The mothers also increased their own risk of excessive fat accumulation (independent of pre-pregnancy weight) by almost six times.

Pregnant and nursing women should consume a healthy and well balanced diet as recommended by their doctors and dieticians. 

Any foods high in transfats should be avoided as it is unhealthy and detrimental to your health.
