Introduction
Produced as a byproduct of partial hydrogenation of unsaturated fats. Dietary trans fatty acids are at least as atherogenic as saturated fats.[1]
Adverse effects
- increased risk of cardiovascular disease[6] (RR=1.28)
- increased risk for all-cause mortality[6] (RR=1.34)
- memory impairment - worse word recall in younger adults[5]
Notes
- food manufacturers must remove partially hydrogenated oils from processed foods in the next 3 years (by 2018)[4][6]
- banning use of trans-fatty acids in some New York counties associated with 6% 3 year decline hospital admissions for cardiovascular disease[7]
- WHO releases a guide for governments worldwide to eliminate artificial trans fats from the food supply[8]
- people won't taste the difference
- food won't cost more
- cardiovascular deaths will diminish[8]
