A family trip to various fast food cafes has become a Sunday tradition for many. But it is unlikely that a brochure about the dangers of trans fats is served with the next portion of french fries and chicken burger.
No one will argue about the dangers of the "streaming" kitchen. So it turns out that some - they know everything and keep silent, while others - guess everything, but continue to eat. And no one wants to put a fat point. And the point is just some kind of fat.
And if you are more vigilant about what you eat - not in "some" fats, but very dangerous for the health of a living organism! These are the so-called trans fats.
More details - trans-isomers of fatty acids, subjected to "hydrogenation", treatment with hydrogen and interference with the composition of the molecule. The processing of vegetable fats by this method has a positive effect on the "marketable" qualities of these very fats and their further use in order to provide public catering.
Trans fats are dangerous because during breastfeeding, in a preserved modified form and in high concentration, they enter the still fragile baby's clean body with mother's milk!
So, for example, vegetable fats are "hydrogenated", resulting in margarine unhealthy. Special cooking fat, mayonnaise, various "sandwich" oils are also the fruits of industrial "genomodification".
And despite the fact that the law provides for the mandatory stamping of a product with the mark "GMO-free", it is in the interests of a manufacturer whose products do not meet health care standards - to hide this fact. This is how “saturated fats”, “deep-frying fat”, “refined oil”, “combined fat” appear in the composition of some products.
There is only one good news - trans fat is an artificially created element. No mother or Nina Pavlovna from the 38th apartment will reproduce the whole process of “hydrogenation” of ordinary butter at home on her own. And beloved
grandmother will not treat her grandchildren to deadly cream donuts. And all because trans fats are produced specifically for production on a stream. It is economical, profitable and increases the safety of the product during the transportation period, which is also a very weighty argument.
To make it easier for the consumer to navigate the purchased food product, it will not be superfluous to point out that trans fats have a very, very negative effect on overall health.
Scientists recommend keeping your trans fat intake down to 3 grams per day. Tip: One serving of French fries contains 8 grams of trans fat. It's scary to imagine how much "hydrogenated" fat a person eats in a day.
The consequences of exceeding the norm of consumption of trans fats leads to a violation of cell metabolism, to the development of arterial hypertension, cardiac ischemia, cancer, morbid obesity and decreased vision.
The birth of babies with congenital weight abnormalities, a decrease in testosterone and the quality of semen in men is also a deplorable result of food consumption, which contains trans fats.
Moreover, the oversaturation of the body with trans fats leads to disruptions in the work of special enzymes that neutralize carcinogens and chemicals that enter the body.
