Hi all.
so is there any update on hydrogenated industrial trans fats HITFA's and naturally occurring trans fatty acids?
My current understanding is that HITFA's should be consumed as little as possible. consuming a tiny amount say 2 or 3g per day from general cooking is ok. Natural occurring trans fats is a good idea to avoid as well but dont have the same effect as HITFA's. So if you are consuming 10% of your calories from animal fats and the natural trans fats in that will be fine.
Any new research papers on this?
I currently only have this> https://www.heart.org/en/healthy-liv...fats/trans-fat
Thanks in advance,.

Last I looked into it ruminant (natural) trans fats are likely healthier than industrial based on different properties but people naturally consume ruminant trans fats at ~1/3 to ~1/2 the value of industrial and thus it's not clear if different health effects are due to the different chemical nature or the fact that people eat less of them. I can provide a reference if desired.

Perhaps interesting:
My take: personally I'd avoid iTFAs as much as possible. See for example: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...rticle/2530902
