Dietary fat, trans fatty acids, and risk of coronary heart disease.
Results from human feeding studies and recent large-scale epidemiologic surveys suggest that dietary trans fatty acids enhance the risk of developing coronary heart diseases. Despite a lack of accurate data regarding dietary intake of trans fatty acids, existing epidemiologic data and evidence from experimental feeding studies support the idea that lowering current intakes of trans fatty acids may lower the risk of coronary heart disease.
