Hi all,

I heard a biologist mention in passing that there is some new
research exists that says that trans fat (TFA) somehow reduces
the size of the heart, or deteriorates it.

Does anyone know who did that research?

I also heard that it inflames the heart, which I know is
research out of Denmark.

Thanks.
