Not all trans fats are the same and it is time for nutrition labels according to this reality, says a University of Alberta-nutrition expert.

After a scientific evaluation carried out by Spencer Proctor, Canadian and international colleagues natural trans fats from ruminant animals such as dairy produced and cattle are not harmful to health. In fact, they show significant positive health effects and some evidence left also this natural trans fats to lower risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer.

A different fatty acid profile as industrial trans fatty acids has naturally occurring after the review, trans fat, what its different physiological effects. Ruminant trans fat is naturally occurring and meat and dairy products, while industrial trans fatty acids is a component of partially hydrogenated vegetable oils have been strongly associated with cholesterol and coronary heart disease.

Consumers are on a regular basis about what she should and do not eat bombed. The primary goal to avoid what is often fat and trans fats in particular have a negative reputation.

"A change in the appearance of trans fat information on nutritional information would be a big step forward," says Proctor, a researcher in the Department of agriculture, food and nutrition, is Director of the metabolic and heart circulation diseases lab at the U A. "right now, in Canada and the United States, a significant part of the natural trans fats, the content in the diet name trans fats calculation is included, which is misleading for the consumer." "We need reflect a reset in our approach, what tells us the new science."

Spencer adds that natural trans-fatty acids in the nutrition label calculation is not included in some European countries. Another approach might be separate entries for industrial trans fats and natural trans fats have.

Researchers evaluated an evidence from numerous studies in the review. On the basis of the promising results so far are plans for new studies, continue to study the health effects of the natural ruminant of derived trans fats dynamics.

A leading scientific program under the direction of Proctor was recently one million US dollar research funding from the Alberta livestock and meat agency this line of study in the next few years further approved.

"With industry, the science, regulatory authorities and other major groups in this area work together we can continue to steps up out to public better understand the health effects of the natural ruminant trans fats, to help", says Proctor.
