Trans fats are dangerous to health


Medicine for a long time engaged in the problem of food and impact on the body of various types of substances. This is due to the fact that science does not stand still and invent ever new ways to feed the maximum number of mankind in a minimum amount of money. Someone figured out that the world is on the verge of extinction from hunger and producer, jumped at the idea, unanimously rushed to invent synthetic food. One of these inventions - trans fats


.
What are trans fats?

This is almost entirely a synthetic product obtained by artificial means. In fact - it is transformed into liquid fats solid. Technology hydrogenation - hydrogen saturated fat - appeared about 50 years ago. Then, this technology is not widespread. However, in consequence of her remembered and became widely adopted in the industry. The best-known representative of this group - margarine

. Why are trans fats are produced?

Everyone knows that the vegetable oil is much cheaper butter, about 3-4 times. Therefore, the production of margarine, even with the hydrogenation of cost, very profitable business. In addition, using margarine instead of butter, significantly reduce the cost of their products and manufacturers were able to various pastries and confectionery. Given the standard of living of the population of Russia and some other countries, the degree of literacy of people in matters of food products with trans fats has become incredibly popular.

The truth about the benefits of margarine.

We urge all sides that margarines - product extremely useful because, unlike butter is made from high-quality vegetable oils containing Omega-3 and other essential fatty acids. However, all producers somehow "forgot" to add that destroys all the useful hydrogenation, converting polyunsaturated fatty acids - the main advantage of vegetable oils - rich in hydrogen tallow. In all useful margarine completely destroyed and replaced by a defective "defective" molecules are not able to participate in normal metabolism.

The more dangerous trans fats.

As natural saturated fatty acids, hydrogenated vegetable oils can not be involved in metabolism. This means they can not be building blocks for the organs and tissues. Moreover, disintegrate, giving energy, they too can not - the chemical bonds created artificially, do not break down naturally
. Like any slag (extra material) are deposited in various organs, creating a health hazard: the imposition of fatty plaques on the walls of blood vessels leads to atherosclerosis, vascular occlusion, persistent increase in blood pressure. The deposits in the liver leads to fatty liver (steatosis) and chronic liver failure.
The deposits in the walls of the heart leads to heart attacks and congestive heart failure.
If you are not afraid of illness - think about her figure. Fat deposits and cellulite formed trans fats, it is almost impossible to destroy. Once deposited on the hips once, trans fats will stay with you forever.

Where contains trans fats.

The most famous representative of trans fats - margarine. From it you must get rid of in the first place. Palm oil is the second highest use. It also subjected to hydrogenation, but do not report it on the label.

Buying butter or other products pay attention to its composition: hydrogenated vegetable oil, and it has trans fats. Today, not quite honest manufacturers add it to the butter, condensed milk, other pasty canned milk.

Chocolate and other desserts - pasta, candy, sweet tiles usually contain trans fats. Instead, choose chocolate or sweets containing natural ingredients.
Different finished baking - cookies, muffins, waffles, etc. without the use of trans fats generally not performed. If you can not give them up, try to reduce their number to a minimum.
