Intake of saturated and trans unsaturated fatty acids and risk of all cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes: systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies

The odds of dying from coronary heart disease (CHD) and other chronic ailments may be stacked against lovers of foods loaded with trans-fatty acids.

This study performed a meta-analysis on data drawn out from 18 studies that evaluated the connection between high fat diets and mortality risk. More than 300,000 participants volunteered for these studies. 

Researchers identified a surge in coronary heart disease (CHD) and total mortality risk among participants at the top of the trans-fatty acid-rich food consumption ladder. This study is one of the many studies that have provided evidence that consistent ingestion of foods ladened with trans-fatty acids may increase death toll from coronary heart disease and other ailments.
