Overview• Trans fatty acids, dietary sources, current
levels, recent changes in intakes
![Page 3: Christine Williams Reading University 12 December 2007.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082407/56649e045503460f94aefc4a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Overview• Trans fatty acids, dietary sources, current
levels, recent changes in intakes
• Impacts on human health- CHD, cancers, type 2 diabetes, weight gain, fetal development
![Page 4: Christine Williams Reading University 12 December 2007.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082407/56649e045503460f94aefc4a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Overview• Trans fatty acids, dietary sources, current
levels, recent changes in intakes
• Impacts on human health- CHD, cancers, type 2 diabetes, weight gain, fetal development
• Epidemiology (disease end points), human dietary intervention studies (biomarker end points)
![Page 5: Christine Williams Reading University 12 December 2007.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082407/56649e045503460f94aefc4a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Overview• Trans fatty acids, dietary sources, current
levels, recent changes in intakes• Impacts on human health- CHD, cancers,
type 2 diabetes, weight gain, fetal development
• Epidemiology (disease end points), human dietary intervention studies (biomarker end points)
• Predicted disease risk reduction for further reduction in trans fatty acid intakes

Trans fatty acids (FA) and health• CHD risk is moderately increased at levels
of intake over the range or slightly higher than UK intakes. Plausible mechanism via increased LDL and decreased HDL
![Page 7: Christine Williams Reading University 12 December 2007.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082407/56649e045503460f94aefc4a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Trans fatty acids (FA) and health• CHD risk is moderately increased at levels
of intake over the range or slightly higher than UK intakes. Plausible mechanism via increased LDL and decreased HDL
• Cancers – epidemiological evidence weak; no plausible mechanism

Trans fatty acids (FA) and health• CHD risk is moderately increased at levels
of intake over the range or slightly higher than UK intakes. Plausible mechanism via increased LDL and decreased HDL
• Cancers – epidemiological evidence weak; no plausible mechanism
• Diabetes- epidemiology limited and inconsistent data. Intervention studies either negative or used un physiological levels
![Page 9: Christine Williams Reading University 12 December 2007.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082407/56649e045503460f94aefc4a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Trans fatty acids (FA) and health• CHD risk is moderately increased at levels of
intake over the range or slightly higher than UK intakes. Plausible mechanism via increased LDL and decreased HDL
• Cancers – epidemiological evidence weak; no plausible mechanism
• Diabetes- epidemiology limited and inconsistent data. Intervention studies either negative or used un physiological levels
• Weight gain- small number of studies. Estimated impact of 1% energy as trans was 0.5-1kg/ 8 years

• Fetal development- studies poorly designed, failed to control for confounding factors

Evidence CHD• Seven of 10 prospective epidemiological
studies show positive association with CHD risk (1% energy trans increase risk by 12.5%)
![Page 12: Christine Williams Reading University 12 December 2007.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082407/56649e045503460f94aefc4a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Evidence CHD• Seven of 10 prospective epidemiological
studies show positive association with CHD risk (1% energy trans increase risk by 12.5%)
• Controlled interventions consistently show trans FA increase LDL and decrease HDL. Trans FA the only fat shown to reduce HDL

Health effects – conclusions• Sufficient evidence to estimate risk of CHD
arising from trans FA intakes.
![Page 15: Christine Williams Reading University 12 December 2007.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082407/56649e045503460f94aefc4a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Health effects – conclusions• Sufficient evidence to estimate risk of CHD
arising from trans FA intakes.
• If all individuals consumed < 1% energy as trans FA the reduction in risk CHD = 5-7.5%
![Page 16: Christine Williams Reading University 12 December 2007.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082407/56649e045503460f94aefc4a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Health effects – conclusions• Sufficient evidence to estimate risk of CHD
arising from trans FA intakes.
• If all individuals consumed < 1% energy as trans FA the reduction in risk CHD = 5-7.5%
• Likely to be over estimated due to extrapolation from much higher levels than UK intakes and recent reductions in intakes
![Page 17: Christine Williams Reading University 12 December 2007.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082407/56649e045503460f94aefc4a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Health effects – conclusions• Sufficient evidence to estimate risk of CHD
arising from trans FA intakes.
• If all individuals consumed < 1% energy as trans FA the reduction in risk CHD = 5-7.5%
• Likely to be over estimated due to extrapolation from much higher levels than UK intakes and recent reductions in intakes
• Insufficient evidence for other diseases. Need to monitor effects on insulin/ diabetes and genotype dependent prostate cancer

Natural versus synthetic trans
• Trans FA formed in rumen by action of gut bacteria
• Found in milk, milk products cheese, beef, lamb
• Main trans FA is vaccenic acid 18;2, n-7
NATURAL

Natural versus synthetic trans
• Trans FA formed in rumen by action of gut bacteria
• Found in milk, milk products cheese, beef, lamb
• Main trans FA is vaccenic acid 18;2, n-7
• Trans FA formed during chemical hydrogenation of vegetable oils to form solid and semi solid fats
• Found in margarines, cakes, biscuits, fries
• Main trans FA is elaidic acid 18,2-n-9
NATURAL SYNTHETIC
![Page 20: Christine Williams Reading University 12 December 2007.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082407/56649e045503460f94aefc4a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Are synthetic trans FA more harmful than natural form?
• Early epidemiological studies suggested effects on CHD were due to trans from margarines, biscuits etc but not milk, cheese, ruminant meats
• Later studies have not reported on different effects of the two types of trans FA
• No evidence form metabolic studies to suggest the two forms differ in their effects on lipoproteins
