Dr. Walter C. Willett, chairman of the nutrition department at the Harvard School of Public Health, says trans fats are much more unhealthful than saturated fats, which are listed on labels.
Now they are considered more harmful than saturated fat because they both lower the "good" cholesterol (high-density lipoproteins) and raise the "bad" (low-density lipoproteins), while saturated fat just raises the bad cholesterol.
Group of unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons were generally more toxic than saturated analogues.
Mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids were more abundant than saturated in all oleoresins, with the highest percentage of unsaturated fatty acids detected in pomegranate seed oleoresin (∼90%), mainly due to punicic acid (∼70%).
OA is more bending than saturated fatty acid, such as myristic acid, due to the existence of a cis-double bond in the middle of the hydrocarbon chains, which makes the Cd Oleate complex more reactive [19].
Trans fat is more harmful than saturated fat, because trans fat raises "bad" cholesterol and also lowers "good" cholesterol (whereas saturated fat only raises "bad" cholesterol), the CSPI says.
Eggs, and cholesterol, have apparently always figured in the Homo sapien diet -- much more so than saturated fat, which is at quite low levels in the flesh of wild animals.
Trans fatty acids render the lipid profile even more atherogenic than saturated fatty acids.
As PA and fruit and vegetable consumption will receive more attention than saturated fat intake, we also expect to find larger effects for these.
Spots flagged as not found or bad during image analysis or considered saturated (containing more than 5% saturated pixels in either signal) were removed.
