Dietary transfatty acids and cancer risk

[TanyaRD]

Jackie07,
I don't know why they would publish such old data. This was prior to labeling laws for Trans Fats in the US which took place in 2006. Since then most companies have done away with trans fats in their products, although they are still out there in many items and restaurant foods. Those that have been removed from products have often been replaced with saturated fats. I have no doubt, however, that trans fats are cancer promoting likely due to the inflammatory process they are thought to trigger.
