​What are trans fats? Why is it a serious health problem?​

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 30 January 2024
​The World Health Organisation (WHO) awarded its first-ever certificates to five countries for adopting practices to eliminate industrially produced trans fats or iTFA. "A total of 53 countries have now best practice policies in effect for tackling iTFA in food, vastly improving the food environment for 3.7 billion people, or 46% of the world’s population, as compared to 6% just 5 years ago. These policies are expected to save approximately 183 000 lives a year," the WHO said in a statement. “Trans fat has no known health benefit, but huge health risks,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. ​
