You must be eating things like Chips, Biscuits, and Bhujia every day. But do you know that these things that enhance the taste are reducing your age? This has been revealed in a recent report. All these things are proving very dangerous for health. Bhujia, Biscuit or Burger are all those things which you eat and also feed to the guests because their taste is like this only. Do you know that among many food items like these available in the market, one thing is so dangerous that it can reduce many years of your life? Its name is Trans Fat.

Trans fat is present in chips, biscuits, and snacks
Let us tell you that when any oil is frozen through the process of hydrogenation and is converted into frozen fat, it takes the form of trans fat or trans fatty acids. Let us tell you that trans fat is used in biscuits or snacks so that they do not spoil for a long time and can be eaten with pleasure.

Why is trans fat dangerous?
Know that desi ghee and butter are not trans fat but refined oil which has been fried more than three times becomes trans fat. Trans fat increases bad cholesterol in the body. The worse thing is that by taking more amount of trans fats, the good cholesterol present in the body i.e. essential fat also starts converting into bad cholesterol. Trans fats have a big role in giving heart disease to Indians.

Trans fat doing such harm
According to doctors, our body does not need trans fat at all. Trans fat also converts the good fat present in our body into bad fat. They are not only harming the heart by accumulating in the arteries, but they are also affecting the liver and brain.

Trans fats shorten the lives of 5 billion people
According to the latest WHO report, trans fats have reduced the life of 5 billion people in the world and they are living with the risk of heart disease. In 2018, efforts were made to reduce trans fats from food and to eliminate trans fats from foods by 2023. However, now 43 countries have moved forward in this matter. In 2022, India has also joined this list.

Let us now also know what should be the amount of trans fat in these products. According to WHO standards, the number of trans fats should not be more than 2 grams per 100 grams. WHO also says that canned refined oil which has a high amount of hydrogen should be banned. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India has implemented these rules in January 2022, but it cannot be said how many products sold in the market follow these standards.
