Dietitians recommend avoiding three artificial ingredients - trans fats, coconut oil, and added sugars - if you suffer from high cholesterol. Trans fats, found in baked goods and fried foods, raise LDL cholesterol levels and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Coconut oil, despite its popularity, lacks scientific evidence for health benefits and may have negative effects on cardiovascular health. Instead, opt for healthier oils like olive oil and avocado oil. Excess sugar, found in sugary beverages, desserts, and even condiments, can contribute to the formation of plaque in arteries. Check food labels for hidden sugars in supposedly "healthy" foods. Educating ourselves about artificial ingredients can help make healthier choices.
