The body doesn’t convert saturated or trans fat into LDL cholesterol. LDL stands for low density lipoprotein. It is like a transport vehicle, it takes triglycerides (fat) and cholesterol from the liver to the body.
Sidney is correct. Most trans-fat started out as seed oils that was chemically altered by heat and nickle into a “trans-fat” which is a electrically dead fat unlike natural saturated fat which still has an electrical charge. The reason this is important is that the fatty acid chain attach to a glycerol molecule is the transport train for all of your vitamins, mineral, and oxygen to your cells. Cell walls are made up of a bi-lipid layers of charged omega 3,6,9 fats with cholesterol serving as the cells ridge layer. A trans-fat fatty acid chain with no charge does not transport the nutrients into the cells. It sort of sticks like mud on a screen. This down grades the insulin receptors and begins to starve the cell of sugar (increasing the insulin demand), O2, and other nutrients. The cell begins to die, then divides prematurely. The DNA doe not replicate completely, and cellular replicate fade becomes worse. This is one of the main theories of the beginning of certain cancers. The commercial medical business has given cholesterol a bad rap to prescribe the best selling drugs of all time-statins. The real issue is sugar ( simple carbohydrates).
