🍚Macronutrients
Trans fats
Daily requirement: 2 g⚠ Enjoy in moderation
Industrially produced trans fats are formed during fat hardening (partial hydrogenation). They raise LDL cholesterol and simultaneously lower HDL – the most unfavorable fatty acid pattern for the cardiovascular system. The WHO recommends a maximum of 1% of energy intake (~2 g/day). The EU has limited industrial trans fats to ≤ 2 g/100 g fat since April 2021. Natural trans fats (mainly CLA) from butter and meat of ruminants are considered less problematic according to current evidence.
