“…It was shown that margarines lowest in TFA contained on average more saturated fatty acids (Aro et al, 1998a), which also has an impact on serum lipid levels. In data from the Nurses' Health Study, the impact of changes in fatty acid consumption on CVD risk was estimated.…”

“…In practice, as described by Aro et al (1998a) the TFA iǹ low trans' spreads and baking fats is only partially replaced by PUFA and partially by SFA, and as such results in an increase in the total SFA intake. If TFA is indeed more harmful than SFA, then industrial lowering of trans in products would have more pronounced effects, but only in those countries with the higher TFA intakes (ICE, BEL, NET, UKI, NOR).…”

“…These partially hydrogenated oils are consumed in margarine, fast foods and highly processed foods (cakes, rolls, confectionery, biscuits, chocolate, potato crips and chips) and have been associated with different chronic diseases (Mozaffarian et al, 2006;Chajes et al, 2008). Many processed foods, including foods from major companies, still contain high levels of industrially produced trans-fatty acids, despite efforts to reduce them (Aro et al, 1998;McCarthy et al, 2008). A cross-sectional study on plasma fatty acid levels among a sub-sample of our study population (N ¼ 3003) shows a high correlation (r ¼ 0.72, Po0.01) between margarines and elaidic acid (trans 18:1 n-9), a specific biomarker of hardened fats and their related industrial foodstuffs (Saadatian-Elahi et al, 2009).…”
