Question

Timothy wants to avoid eating too much trans fat. All of the following are appropriate ways except: a. using little or no stick margarine. b. choosing natural peanut butter instead of peanut butter made with hydrogenated vegetable oils. c. avoiding consumption of deep fried foods at quick-service restaurants. d. eating packaged cookies and desserts made with vegetable shortening.

Answer 1

The correct answer is - d. eating packaged cookies and desserts made with vegetable shortening.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogenated vegetable oils have a high amount of trans fat that is harmful to the body if used for a longer period of time. Margarine is also high in trans fat so using it in a small amount or avoiding is the correct way.

One should avoid hydrogenated vegetable oils based foods including peanut butter and quick serve restaurant as they use such oils. Packaged food also have trans fat that is baked as the FDA banned trans fat in other types of food.
