Making their traditional appearance this time of year with ghoulishly carved faces, pumpkins also should make a showing on the dinner table for a boost to heart health. Pumpkins are packed with a staggering 10,000 milligrams of carotenes in a half-cup mashed (either made from fresh pumpkins or scooped right out of a can). These compounds, which act as antioxidants, help protect heart health by keeping the “bad” LDL cholesterol from damaging artery walls. Cooked pumpkin also supplies potassium and fiber, both crusaders for heart health.

These fats are formed when food manufactures partially hydrogenate liquid oils such as corn oil into a soft, solid fat great for taste and texture in the baking of cookies, cakes, chips, crackers and the like. While trans fats may make a great cookie, these fats spell trouble for your heart health.
