Document Summary
All sfas were thought to behave the same way and there was little attention given to specific sfas, but evidence shows not all sfas behave the same way. Many larger studies used measure total and ldl cholesterol to asses changes in cvd risk, but didn"t look at other conditions such as stroke or high bp. People were eating less sfas but they were replacing it with carbohydrates rather than mufas and. Thus, the effect of lowering sfa intakes may depend upon what replaces the saturated fat. Sfas and cvd varies depending on how cvd is measured. Many health professionals feel that diets high in trans fatty cis increase risk for heart disease even more than diets high in saturated fats. Healthier alternatives are now being made that mimics the functional properties of a trans fatty acid. This healthier fat is a picture of oil, water, monoglyceride and fatty acid.
