It's because hydrogen is added and hardened to make it easier to store or move.
It is very bad for your health because it turns into saturated fatty acid.

Trans fat refers to saturated fat that is made hard by chemically adding hydrogen to vegetable fat with a lot of unsaturated C=C bonds, reducing the degree of unsaturated, increasing the melting point.
Margarine is the trans fat.
Since it is a newly artificially created material, it is not good for your health because it cannot be decomposed in your body.
It's better not to eat as much as possible.
