Dietary Trans Fats Linked to Aggression

Whoa. Easy on the trans fats, fella.

Consumption of dietary trans fatty acids is associated with irritability and aggression, new research shows.

The cross-sectional study of 945 adult men and women provides the first evidence linking trans-fat consumption to adverse behaviors that affect others. These range from impatience to overt aggression, lead author Beatrice A. Golomb, MD, PhD, from the University of California, San Diego, told Medscape Medical News.

The Age of Aquarius is just a trans fat-free diet away.
