Kumerrow and trans fats
-
Was the trans fat ban a distraction from PUFA? Ray was saying that hydrogenated coconut oil is even better than regular one.
-
Trans fat comes from altered MUFA and easily from PUFA.
100 % hydrogenated oil won't be a problem as it would be associated with SFA. No double link then. It would handle as a saturated fat. It is supposed to be recognized by our our enzymes.
How is another problem.
Our metabolism can handle max 2% of trans fats. Otherwise it's going to overload the system and create problems: unuseful chains. -
Wikipedia says milk is up to 3% trans fats. Where's that 2% figure from? I'm skeptical about the fat metabolism in general. It's unclear if harmful fats are excreted or metabolized.
