Canola, soy, sunflower, cotton, saffron, such as vegetable liquid oils as a result of the addition and heating of hydrogen ‘trans fats’ is known as a dangerous type of oil. It is cheap, easy to use and can be left intact for a long time. ”Because of these advantages, it is widely used in ready-made Foods,” said Professor, a Turkish Internal Medicine Specialist Dr. in Antalya explained what to know about trans fats, a Turkish public health problem:
How does it affect our health?
Trans fats are fats that extend the life of food and shorten the life of those who use them. Saturated and trans fats stimulate cholesterol production in the body. Like every processed, packaged, refined, unnatural food, trans fats are also harmful. It is unnecessary for the body and has no positive effect. These fats easily adhere to the liver and vascular system, leading to liver lubrication and vascular diseases.

Almost all packaged, ready-made foods contain trans fat. Pastry products such as breads, bagels, canned goods, waffles, crackers, chips, cakes and cakes also contain plenty of trans fat.
What should we look out for?
Ready-made food labels should be carefully followed. phrases such as hydrogenated oil, hydrogenated vegetable oil, digyceride, monoglyceride are often included on labels to hide trans fats. Foods containing these phrases should be strictly avoided. In Turkey, since 2007, if 100 grams of total fat in the product has less than 1 gram of trans fat, the product is labeled as trans fat free. Attention should be paid to such foods.
Does it lead to heart attacks in teenagers?
