Humanity is in danger: billions of people eat harmful trans fats every day
Back in 2018, WHO called for a ban on trans fats in food by 2023. Not all countries heeded the advice of doctors. 48 leading countries with a population of 2,8 billion people have introduced bans or restrictions on the addition of trans fats to foods. The rest of the countries with a population of 5 billion still feed on them.
Trans fats cause 500 premature deaths every year. They clog arteries and cause severe cardiovascular disease. Industrially produced fats are added to cooking oils, margarine, baked goods, and processed foods. They are cheap and extend the shelf life of products.
