Is "zero trans fat" food true?

"Zero trans fat" food is real. Traditional oil hydrogenation process does produce some trans fatty acids, but hydrogenated oil is by no means equal to trans fatty acids. Trans fatty acids can be reduced or even eliminated by improving hydrogenation technology or fractionation technology. In addition, under the action of enzyme or chemical catalyst, the transesterification reaction is carried out under mild conditions, and the trans fatty acid content is extremely low, which is an ideal technology to replace hydrogenation process to produce products with low trans fatty acid content.

"0 against" is not equal to health.

"0 trans" is possible, but it doesn't mean that trans fatty acids really don't exist at all-prepackaged foods General Rules for Nutrition Labeling stipulates that every 100g product contains less than or equal to 0.3g trans fatty acids, so it can be labeled as "0", that is to say, people see that "trans fatty acids are 0" refers to trans fatty acids in this product100g.

In addition, even if the content of trans fatty acids in packaged food is low, its substitutes such as palm oil, fully hydrogenated oil and animal oil are mainly saturated fat, which is also unhealthy. The relationship between them is only "dwarfing" and "pot calling the kettle black". As long as the oil content is high, "zero negative" food is still unhealthy, but the degree of "disadvantage" is lower.
