How trans fats increase the risk of breast cancer and thrombosis
Previously, Candidate of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Chemical Technologies of Perm Polytechnic Ekaterina Bankovskaya told why it is dangerous to heat food in the microwave, how trans fats are formed and why they increase the risk of blood clots, breast cancer and atherosclerosis.
Expensive fats are often replaced in industry with trans fats. Thus, milk fats are replaced with margarine, which contains up to 40% trans fats. Trans fats are converted fatty acids. In nature, they occur, for example, in the stomach of ruminants and remain in milk and meat in an amount of 5–8%. They arise artificially during the industrial processing of cheap vegetable oil, as well as during repeated heat treatment of food. Regular fats turn into trans fats when fried, baked, or heated in the microwave.
“The danger lies in the fact that trans fats are not removed from the body on their own, which means they accumulate, gradually replacing natural lipids in organs and tissues, as a result of which the cells of the human body lose the ability to fully perform their functions and remove harmful substances,” explains Ekaterina Bankovskaya.
As the scientist says, trans fats worsen the immune system because they interfere with the absorption of vitamin D. A lack of vitamin disrupts the functioning of the kidneys and thyroid gland and can lead to rickets. In addition, trans fats make platelets stickier, increasing the risk of blood clots. In addition, trans fats interfere with liver detoxification. They also increase the content of “bad” cholesterol in the blood, which contributes to the development of atherosclerosis, strokes and coronary heart disease.
— The study showed that in women, trans fats can also affect the condition of the mammary glands. Excessive consumption increases the risk of developing breast cancer by 40%, the polytechnic said. — Trans fats also increase the risk of developing diabetes.
