Saturated fats and cholesterol were wrongly blamed for heart disease, leading manufacturers to use trans fats instead - a deadly swap costing millions of lives.
The pharmaceutical industry influences medical education, research and media coverage. Conflicts of interest are evident, as pharmaceutical companies finance studies and pay doctors directly. Current health systems benefit from keeping people sick. Treating symptoms separately with multiple medications, rather than addressing the root causes, perpetuates chronic disease and drug dependency. The food pyramid, the attack on saturated fats and cholesterol, the defense of polyunsaturated fatty acids susceptible to oxidation, are the way that the pharmaceutical industry promotes the disease by enhancing its economic benefits.
At least now the truth is being told about trans fats. Trans fats are the worst fats that humans consume in the diet. They are produced during the hydrogenation process of edible oils and fats. Consumption of industrially produced trans fatty acids (IP-TFA) has been positively associated with systemic markers of low-grade inflammation. most trans fatty acids are generated during industrial processing through the partial hydrogenation of PUFA-rich vegetable oils. The amount of trans fatty acids in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils can be as high as 60%,
In all this we have the current evidence highlights the adverse health effects of the characteristics of the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) and the effect they can have on intestinal health. This review aims to summarize the available evidence on the possible relationship between excessive consumption of UPF and the modulation of low-grade inflammation, as potential promoters of chronic diseases.
These trans fats increase the risk of diabetes, which is also associated with cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Hydrogenation is the main source of TFA production, the industrial hydrogenation part is mainly affected by the increased level of trans fats (10-50%) compared to the thermal process (1-3%).
