Trans Fats
This ingredient is mostly found in margarines, peanut butter, spreads and many, many frozen dinners out there. You may also find them in certain brands of crackers, muffins and bakery items, so make sure to read the label!
Although trans fats don’t directly raise blood sugar levels, they’ve been linked to increased inflammation, insulin resistance and belly fat, as well as lower “good” HDL cholesterol levels and impaired arterial function.
