摘要：INTRODUCTION:Trans fats are fatty acids with one or more double bonds in the trans configuration. These trans-fats provide firmness, plasticity, emulsion stability and hence are widely used by vanaspati industries. Researches show that trans-fat consumption is associated with cardiovascular diseases, preterm deliveries, malignancies, preeclampsia, nervous system disorders, impaired vision in children, colorectal cancer, obesity and even hypersensitivity reactions. Because of all these ill effects of trans fats on our body, trans fats intake should be zero. Currently in India, there is no system to monitor and regulate the amount of trans fatty acids in processed foods, canned foods. There is also a lack of awareness about this trans fats among people. The aim of this study is to create awareness on trans - fat among college students. An online survey was conducted for 100 college students studying in different colleges in Chennai. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The questionnaire included questions regarding their awareness on trans-fat, the type of diet they prefer, health risks of trans fat , preference and liking of fried food items, etc. The responses were recorded and were graphically represented. From this survey we may conclude that college students are mostly unaware about trans-fat and hence knowingly or unknowingly consume food rich in trans fatty acids. College going students, even if they know about the ill effects of fried, junk food items they prefer these foods more than home-made foods and hence we can see a lot of obese people nowadays among teen agers and an increase in CVD in teens. CONCLUSION: This survey helped in creating knowledge and awareness about trans fatty acids and the potential risk of it on health.
