TRANS fats bad for your heart; worse than SFAs!
TRANS fats also increase risk of type 2 diabetes!
Overall: TFAs 2 to 10 times worse than the C12-16 SFAs when impact on
factors considered!
Dietary Sources of TFAs
Hydrogenated fat
Containing mainly trans-monoenes + smaller amounts
trienes Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) [~1%] [Prominent form = rumenic acid (n-7 FA), (c9,t11-CLA)] Meat & Dairy Products
PUFA-rich edible oils
Commercial hydrogenation: high temp, Ni catalyst
Ingestion of unsaturated fat by ruminant
Partial hydrogenation by bacteria in rumen
Vaccenic acid
+ other TFAs in rumen (2-4%)
9-desaturase
Solid-fat food applications:
shortenings, vegetable ghee, bakery fat, etc.
CODEX:
TFA content in foods should not exceed 3%
WHO:
TFA <1% kcal

24 monkeys from 3 species rotated through 5 purified diets containing 31% energy as various palm fat blends for 12- week periods to compare the impact of specific dietary FAs on plasma lipids and lipoproteins.
CONCLUSION: PALM 16:0 TENDS TO BE “NEUTRAL”

Different types of fat all have a role to play in our diet.
