Trang 5III Read the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions Write your
answers (A, B, C or D) in the box provided.
Trans Fat and Health
Heart disease and obesity are increasing in frequency among young people in all
countries Some blame this on a lack of exercise and the propensity to eat junk food Although
being a couch potato is a major contributing factor, the greatest contributor to obesity is the consumption of trans fats Trans fats is created by adding hydrogen to plant oils to create
“unsaturated fats” This gives the plant oils a higher melting temperature (which helps with baking) and a longer shelf life, making them more commercially viable Since no trans fat is found in nature, it is not beneficial to our health In fact, it increases our cholesterol level and thereby increases the risk of heart disease
Adding hydrogen to fat was pioneered by Paul Sabatier, and he earned a Nobel Prize for
his efforts Proctor & Gamble, a U.S company, was the first to market a commercial product with unsaturated fat in 1911 called Crisco Shortening The product became hugely popular after
they distributed a free cookbook filled with recipes calling for Crisco Shortening The product
was cheap, and it was also said to be healthier than saturated fats like butter
It wasn’t until 1987 that critics began to speak out against trans fat In 1994, it was estimated that over 30,000 people died of heart disease associated with trans fats Crisco, facing a possible ban on their shortening, had a change of heart and made an effort to remove trans fats from their products Last year, over 12.5 million Americans were diagnosed with heart disease, and more than 500,000 died
The greatest influence trans fat has on the body is an increase in the risk of heart disease A 1976 study of 120,000 nurses showed that for every 2% increase in trans fat consumed, the risk of heart disease doubled Heart disease is not the only negative health
effect; diabetes, obesity, liver dysfunction and infertility go hand in hand with trans fat
consumption A six-year experiment on monkeys found that, even though all monkeys consumed the same number of calories per day, monkeys who ate trans fats gained 7.2% of their body weight Monkeys who consumed no trans fat only gained 1.8% of their body weight
All food labels are required to show amounts of trans fats Try to choose products with lower amounts of fat Use alternate fats like monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (olive, canola, soy bean, corn and sunflower oils) Avoid foods high in trans fats such as cookies, cakes and chips if you want to stay in shape
