From what I've been told/read over the years is that trans fats are bad(except for food shelf life). Our human bodies cannot digest them, so they get stored somewhere. It seems like with such trace ammounts where it is found, it just slowly builds up.
I've also heard that it fks with your cholesterol. That bad thing is that trans fats increase the amount of "bad cholesterol" in your blood and decreases the "good cholesterol" that is trying to get that bad shit digested.
So here's my summary:
Heart attacks occur when your heart gets no oxygen, which gets delivered as long as blood is flowing to the heart. A blood clot blocks clogs up the blood flow to a part of the body. Sometimes this blockage can be upstream of the heart, which leads to the dreaded heart attack. Once the heart does not have enough oxygen to continue operation, it shuts down (ie. passes out). Now, the "blood pump" is no longer moving blood/oxygen to ANY parts of the body (ie. lungs, hands, stomach, BRAIN, etc.). The brain losing oxygen is the equivalent of ocean waves slowly washing away the writing on the sandy beach. After a long enough time has elapsed, the sandy beach writing is completely erased, and the person does not have a functioning brain anymore.
There are ~450 grams in 1 pound. Anyone who is average height will not notice gaining 1 pound in a year; 2 pounds is even tough to notice. This means that you could store 450-900 grams of trans fat in a year and not notice a big difference. If you are eating 1-2 g of trans fats per day, you would fall into this category.
Here's a metaphor: Melt a chocolate chip and evenly spread it on your car. Do you notice this on your car? What about if you did it once a day for a week? What about if you did it once a day for a year? What about 10, 15, or 20 years? I probably wouldn't notice this for like 35 years, but only via comparing two pictures.
