What should I know about was sind transfette?

Trans fats are unsaturated fatty acids containing at least one trans double bond. A distinction is made between industrially produced trans fats (e.g., in frying fats, baked goods, snacks) and naturally occurring ones (e.g., in dairy and meat from ruminants). Industrial trans fats are proven to increase cardiovascular risk by raising LDL cholesterol and lowering HDL cholesterol. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting intake to less than 1 % of total energy. Many countries have regulated or banned industrial trans fats. A blood test can measure trans fatty acid levels, but it is rarely necessary for general health assessment. A balanced diet with minimal processed foods is more important. The provided context contains no specific information about trans fats; this answer is based on general evidence-based knowledge. Caveat: Natural trans fats in moderate amounts are considered safe.
