Trans fatty acids (TFAs), often known as trans fats, are the most dangerous kind of fats that can affect a person’s health more than any other nutrient.
A new report from the World Health Organization (WHO) has found that 5 billion people globally remain unprotected from harmful Trans fats, increasing their risk of heart disease and death.
WHO first called for the global elimination of industrially produced Trans fats in 2018, with an elimination target set for 2023.
