Factory workers needed bread en butter
|

|
You cannot put cottonseed oil on bread..

1902: Wilhelm Norman patents the hardening of edible oils through hydrogenation
|
|
|
Partial hydrogenation gave food manufacturers control over the properties of a major food ingredient
|
|
|
A polyunsaturated fatty acid: linoleic acid
|
|
|
Hydrogenation converts essential polyunsaturated fatty acids into saturated and trans fatty acids
|
|
|
Saturated fats stack up like planks in a stack of wood, creating hard fats.
|
|
|
Why food manufacturers like the trans fat in partially hydrogenated oils
|
|
|
Partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil

In 1990 Mensink & Katan showed that trans fat lowers HDL and raises LDL
|
|
|
Effect of trans and saturated fat on the LDL:HDL ratio in 9 controlled trials
|
|
|
Trans fatty acids raise the bad cholesterol and lower the good cholesterol, so they ought to increase the risk of heart disease. Do they?
|
|
|
Risk of coronary heart disease as a function of industrial trans fat intake in prospective studies
|
|
|
Trans fat and cardiovascular disease: quality of the evidence
|
|
|
Trials of endothelial function as a surrogate for clinical trials
|
|
|
Measurement of arterial diameter
|
|
|
Flow-mediated dilation after cuff release is a measure of endothelial ‘health’
|
|
|
Trans fat impairs endothelial-dependent vasodilation in volunteers
|
|
|
Effects of trans fats on lipids and flow-mediated dilation are consistent with associations with CHD
|
|
|
“Pleiotropic” effects of trans fat
|
|
|
Why is the ‘effect’ in epidemiology larger than predicted from the effect on lipids?
|
|
|
Outline of presentation
|
|
|
The two sources of trans fat
|
|
|
Saturated and trans fatty acids in Dutch margarines, 1980-1996
|
|
|
Saturated and trans fatty acids in Dutch frying fats, 1980-2004
|
|
|
Trans fat intake in the 1960s and 2006
|
|
|
Sources of trans fat in the Dutch diet
|
|
|
Trans fat intake has plunged
|
|
|
Effect of conjugated linoleic acid on lipoproteins in healthy humans
|
|
|
Why study CLA?
|
|
|
“Animal” trans fatty acids: uncertainties
|
|
|
Conjugated Linoleic Acid: a ruminant trans fatty acid sold as a weight loss supplement
|
|
|
Objective
|
|
|
Design of CLA trial
|
|
|
Controlled dietary intervention
|
|
|
Effect of industrial and ‘natural’ trans fat on blood lipids relative to oleic acid
|
|
|
Dosis of trans fat and ΔLDL/HDL in published trials of industrial and animal trans fat
|
|
|
What would vaccenic acid do to the LDL/HDL ratio?
|
|
|
Conclusions
|
|
|
Thank you for your attention
|
|
|
Unsaturated fatty acids in native triglycerides have kinks and there is rotation around the kinks
|
|
|
So unsaturated triglycerides will not stack and therefore remain liquid
|
|
|
Hydrogenation changes the melting properties of triglycerides
|
|
|
Saturated and trans-unsaturated fatty acids are straight and allow triglycerides to crystallize
|
|
|
The Gap: Predicted effect on heart disease risk of reducing trans intake by 2 energy% (~ 5 gram/d)
|
|
|
Why is there a gap?
|
|
|
Cis- and trans isomers and nomenclature
|
|
|
Distribution of trans fatty acid isomers in milk and industrial fats
|
|
|
How different is natural trans from industrial trans?
