Trans-Fat: The Time Bomb in Your Diet

The health implications of trans fats were recognised as early as 1958, when Dr Ancel Keys reported that he believed that hydrogenated vegetable oils with their trans fats components
were responsible for the sudden and significant increase in heart disease.

The response was predictable - the oil manufacturers buried the research and began the false attack on animal fats. The driving force to produce hydrogenated Vegetable Oils, so-called "trans fats" was simply a commercial decision for the increase in shelf-life, which hydrogenation caused.

Little or no consideration was given to the health effects of this major chemical alteration of the oil molecule.

Many of these compounds are so called "trans fats", which do not occur naturally and whic are known to have serious health implications, not just in relation to heart disease, but also to cancer, diabetes, obesity, pregnancy and the function of the immune system.

Trans fat provides no known nutritional benefit. The National Academy of Sciences has concluded that there is no safe level of trans fat consumption.

A 2006 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine estimated that between thirty and a hundred thousand cardiac deaths each year are attributable to the consumption of trans fats.

The recently, concern over the role of trans fats in disease has led a number of major food companies to remove these components from their products.

This is probably a response to the recent FDA ruling that, as of 2006, all food labels must include the proportion of trans fats in addition to other fat content.

However Hydrogenated vegetable oil, or trans-fat, as it is sometimes called, is also widely used in bakery products, and by restaurants and takeaways, where it usually does not have to be labelled and declared as being present.,
