About trans fat
The molecules of fatty acids consist of a long chain of carbon atoms, and at the end of this chain, there is a carboxyl acid group. Bound to the carbon atoms are hydrogen atoms. The carbon atoms are chained together by single or bouble bounds.
In natural fatty acids, the double bounds are orientated such that the part of the carbon chain before and after the double bound are at the same side, making the carbon chain bent.
Fat used in industrially processed food has often undergone chemical alternation to give the fat special consistence. Such processing creates fatty acids where the chain part before and after the double bounds are at different sides. These fatty acid molecules have straighter chains and are called trans-fat. However, trans fat is unnatural and is not used in the body in a normal way.
Many observations suggest that trans fat in industrially processed food causes cancer, heart problems and inflammatory diseases, like rheumatic disease.
There is however onee xception. Thet trans-fat conjugated linoleic acid seems to help reduce weight and to promote skin health if furnished in a moderate amount. This trans fatty acid is made in the digestive system of cows by bacteria, and is transfered to the milk. Therefor milk, butter and cheese contain some amount of this fatty acid.
