Trans fat has been shown to increase the risk of which condition?

Diabetes Cardiovascular disease Asthma Skin cancer

Correct Answer:

Cardiovascular disease

Explanation:

Trans fats raise LDL cholesterol while lowering HDL cholesterol, and they promote inflammation and damage to the lining of arteries. This combination accelerates the development of atherosclerosis, where plaques build up and can block blood flow, leading to heart attacks and strokes. Because of this direct impact on heart and blood vessels, trans fats are linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. They aren’t a primary driver of asthma or skin cancer, and while overall diet can influence diabetes risk, the strongest and most direct association for trans fats is with cardiovascular disease.
