Congratulations #Thailand 🇹🇭 for becoming #transfat free The ban on industrially-produced trans fat enforced on 9 January is an important initiative to #beatNCDs. Increased intake of trans fat is associated with increased risk of coronary #heartdisease mortality and events

Trans-fatty acids are fatty acids with at least one double carbon–carbon bond in the trans configuration. #Transfat can be produced industrially and is often found in baked and fried foods, prepared or pre-packaged snacks and food, and cooking oils and spreads.

Industrially-produced trans-fatty acids (#TFA) have no known health benefits. Globally, more than 500,000 deaths are attributed to increased intake of TFA. Supported by World Health Organization (WHO) & partners, various actions have been initiated in different countries to reduce #transfat intake.
