<P> While the mechanisms through which trans fats contribute to coronary artery disease are fairly well understood , the mechanism for trans fat 's effect on diabetes is still under investigation . Trans fatty acids may impair the metabolism of long - chain polyunsaturated fatty acids ( LCPUFAs ) , but maternal pregnancy trans fatty acid intake has been inversely associated with LCPUFAs levels in infants at birth thought to underlie the positive association between breastfeeding and intelligence . </P>
