Effective January 1, 2010, the state of California will be the first in the country to ban the use of trans fat in restaurants. Bakeries will have another year to transition - their effective date of the ban is January 1, 2011. Tiburon was the first city in the country to voluntarily ban trans fats, and other cities such as New York and Philadelphia also have permanent bans. Trans fats have been considered unhealthy for quite some time and have been known to increase the levels of bad cholesterol. In addition, the substance causes higher rates in obesity and coronary artery disease.
