Does Trans Fat increase Fat Gains?

[Nutridense]

Do Trans Fatty Acids increase fat gains compared to regular Saturated Fats?

Just had a snack that has 10g of Trans Fats.

[nothing was listed in the ingredients so i thought it had 0 grams, then later read "10g" wtf]

other than the obvious, do trans fat cause Higher Fat gains?

[Ohio33]

Im not for sure the only thing I know is that it cant be burned off or worked off like other fats can including saturated(which is weird) but one snack will not cause fat gain even though 10 g of trans fat is pretty high

it increases risk of heart disease

Monkeys fed a diet rich in trans-fats - commonly found in fast foods - grew bigger bellies than those fed a diet rich in unsaturated fats, but containing the same overall number of calories. They also developed signs of insulin resistance, which is an early indicator of diabetes.

****, there goes my clean bulk, now im more skinny fat, lol

That's odd. There is naturally occuring trans fat in a lot of foods, but nothing near 10g. Can you link to the product anywhere? It sounds crazy that there would be 10g of trans fat and you didn't see it anywhere on the label. Unless they've discovered some new way to hide it like they did with MSG...

It is highly unlikely that ALL of the fat is trans fat. I'm guessing a labeling error.

Unlikely. There is only trace transfat in butter, and naturally occurring transfats don't seem to have a harmful net effect.

butter has ~.3g/tbsp, margarine can vary quite a bit but there are certainly ones with less than that.

Perhaps some of the more watered-down "margarine" spreads, but actual margarine (i.e. stick) has significantly more. It has to in order to be more solid. A good reason to go for the softer/spreadable margarines if you must. I only eat real butter. But not because of trans fat or lack thereof.

really?

I remember hearing this on the news at some point but you know how the media can be

[daniel2k4]

I don?t know the current situation in USA, but here in Brazil all margarines and spreads are trans-free.
The consistency, viscosity and other reological parameters are almost the same from a interesterified margarine (trans-free) to a partially hidrogenated margarine.

Remember, what creates the trans-fat is the UNCOMPLETE hydrogenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, specially linoleic acid (w-6); The interesterification is a process catalyzed by sodium methoxid, where TOTALLY saturated linoleic acid (aka STEARIC acid) is mixed with unsaturated linoleic acid, thus, creating the trans-fat-free margarine.

[Blindead]

They've started making trans fat free shortenings. I've not seen a margarine though. Here they just mix fully hydrogenated saturated fats with unsaturated fats.
