#TransFat is #Toxic #Food
"Put simply, trans fat is a toxic chemical that kills, and should have no place in food. It’s time to get rid of it once and for all.”
--#WHO Director-General, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus

I mean, if you’ve actually had a #heartAttack & or eat lots of #transFat #butter #steak #junkFood are #obese #genetics #etc

#statins might be actually advisable

Problem is people who really don’t need this but have #highCholesterol & otherwise no health issues are being prescribed by their Dr like it’s 🍬🍭

Just 1 year at a #liberalArts HS did this to me😆 #questionAuthority

She kept pushing & pushing making him re-test after 6 months etc. If not me as impetus he’d probs complied

To eliminate #transfat, WHO recommends countries to

❌ limit industrially produced trans fat to 2 grams/100 grams of total fat in all foods
or
❌ ban the production/use of partially hydrogenated oils as an ingredient in all foods.

L'objectif d'éliminer les acides gras trans industriels, utilisés dans de nombreux aliments de grande consommation, est loin d'être atteint et 5 milliards de consommateurs ne sont pas protégés contre ces produits dangereux pour la santé #OMS #transfat https://www.rts.ch/info/sciences-tech/medecine/13724730-loms-salarme-du-manque-de-protection-face-aux-acides-gras-trans-industriels.html

want to learn more but why some hydrogenation of fat leads to trans fats and how can one select for cis fat in a partial hydrogenation of a fat to convert poly unsaturated fat to mono unsaturated fat. sorry for sounding so uninformed.
