Trans fatty acids – A risk factor for cardiovascular disease
Trans fatty acids (TFA) are produced either by hydrogenation of unsaturated oils or by biohydrogenation in the stomach of ruminant animals. Vanaspati ghee and margarine have high contents of TFA. A number of studies have shown an association of TFA consumption and increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This increased risk is because TFA increase the ratio of LDL cholesterol to HDL chol...

متن کاملCARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE Intake of ruminant trans fatty acids and risk of coronary heart disease
Background Studies have shown a positive association between trans fatty acids (TFA) intake and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), primarily accounted for by industrially produced TFA. Some of these studies indicate an inverse association between ruminant TFA (R-TFA) intake and CHD implying that R-TFA intake is innocuous or even protective against CHD. The aim of this study was to describe t...
متن کاملTrans fatty acids and coronary heart disease.
Epidemiologic evidence has linked trans fatty acids (TFAs) in the diet to coronary heart disease in human populations. It has been estimated that dietary TFAs from partially hydrogenated oils may be responsible for between 30,000 and 100,000 premature coronary deaths per year in the United States. Although it is known that TFAs increase low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and decre...
متن کاملDairy trans fatty acids and cardiovascular disease: Implications for public health nutrition in South Africa
total trans fatty acid (tfA) intake is a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease. A critical review of recent studies suggests that different trans fatty acids (tfAs) may have different effects and that at present there is inconclusive evidence to specifically link dairy tfAs in amounts typically consumed to cardiovascular disease. from a public health nutrition perspective it...
