Eliminating or cutting back on the amount of artificial trans fats that you eat is better for the health of you and your baby.

There are artificial trans-fats and natural trans-fats (which are not a health concern). The natural ones are found in some milk and some meats.

Artificial transfats are in processed foods - such as cookies, french fried potatoes, margarines and other foods. Try to avoid these food choices as much as possible.

Ingesting too much artificial trans fats can have negative effects on the health of you and your baby. They can have a negative impact on the cholesterol level in your body. Too much artificial trans fats can result in a decrease in good cholesterol (HDL cholesterol) and an increase in the "bad" cholesterol (LDL). Higher levels of the "bad" cholesterol could result in a higher risk of heart disease.

Digesting too much artificial trans fats is more impactful on women. It may increase the risk of infertility, and it has also been linked to lower birth weights. It could also cause high blood pressure during pregnancy and could cause the baby to be born early.

If a mom is breastfeeding the trans fats (both good and bad) can be transferred to the baby.

So what can you do to reduce the amount of bad trans fats that you eat? Here are some strategies that can help

* be cognizant of what negative things that having too much "artificial" trans-fats in your diet can do to your baby and you.

* before buying a product take a look at the packaging label. Try to purchase items that are free of transfats have 0 grams of fat in them.

* if you see on the product label that the product contains partially hydrogenated oil - begin to realize that this means that there are trans fats in the product. Look for an alternative product.

* look for products that are made with no fat or the least amount of fat - buy leaner cuts of meat and dairy products like milk that are low fat.

* if you use margarine in your home compare products. Look for margarines that are free of trans-fat and are made with non-hydrogenated fat.

* when possible don't fry your food, or fry your food less often. Use healthier oils like canola oil (low in saturated fats and rich in monounsaturated fats), extra virgin olive oil (Rich in monounsaturated fat, olive oil also contains phytochemicals that may help lower blood cholesterol levels and protect against cancer) when you do fry foods.

* use non-stick vegetable oil cooking spray when frying foods. These products are pure fat, but the small amount in a one-second spray only adds an insignificant amount of fat to a recipe.

* when you are enjoying a meal at a restaurant choose healthier choices - order foods that are low in fat or are free of trans fats.

* eat more whole grain breads, cereals, vegetables, fruit, fish, shellfish (ex. shrimp), beans, nuts and lentils. This will lower the amount of articial transfats in your body.
