Trans fats are widely recognized in scientific literature as posing severe risks to cardiovascular health, frequently exhibiting more detrimental effects on lipid profiles and metabolic function than various saturated fats.

The analysis

Multiple retrieved reviews and studies (e.g., papers 4, 6, and 8) consistently point out the adverse cardiometabolic impacts of trans fats, particularly industrially produced trans-fatty acids, supporting the claim that they are harmful to health.
