摘要：Fatty acids of trans configuration in our food come from two different sources - industrially produced partially hydrogenated fat (IP-TFA) used in frying oils, margarines, spreads, and in bakery products, and from ruminant fat in dairy and meat products (RP-TFA). The first source may contain up to 60 % of the fatty acids in trans form, compared to the content in ruminant fat which generally not exceed 6%. In Western Europe, including Scandinavia, the average daily intake of IP-TFA has decreased during the recent decade due to societal pressure and a legislative ban, whereas the intake of RP-TFA has remained rather stable. In spite of this decrease we have found it possible in many countries consumption more than 20 g of IP-TFA in a one-meal menu consisting of some popular foods is possible, even though the average intake of IP-TFA in these countries is low. Subgroups of the populations may therefore, on average, consume more than 5 g IP-TFA per day. This level of consumption is generally not possible for RP-TFA. A daily intake of 5 gram TFA (primarily IP-TFA) is associated with a 29 % increased risk of coronary heart disease. Such an association is not found for RP-TFA up to a daily intake of 4 g. The high amount of IP-TFA in popular foods, the evidence of a more harmful effect on health by IP-TFA than by RP-TFA; and the feasibility of eliminating IP-TFA from foods without side effects for the population, suggest that a selective elimination of IP-TFA from our food is 'a low hanging fruit' in the quest for a more healthy diet for subgroups of the population.Keywords: trans fatty acids; ruminant; industrial; hydrogenated fats; health aspects; cardio-vascular disorders(Published online: 12 March, 2008)Citation: Food & Nutrition Research 2008.
