Impact of trans fatty acids on human health
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
The detrimental impact of trans fatty acids (TFAs) on human health has been extensively studied. This comprehensive review provides a critical analysis of the significant adverse effects of TFAs on human health. Moreover, a comprehensive evaluation of methods to reduce trans fatty acid consumption and enhance public health is provided. The paper emphasizes successful interventions performed at many levels, offering useful insights into viable strategies for tackling the urgent problem of harm caused by TFA. The compilation of evidence emphasizes the pressing need to reduce TFA intake in order to improve human health outcomes. This extensive analysis provides a significant source of information for politicians, healthcare professionals, and individuals who want to understand and tackle the various harmful effects of TFAs on human health. By increasing knowledge and offering scientifically supported suggestions, it enables individuals involved to make well-informed decisions in order to decrease trans fatty acid consumption and protect public well-being.
