Groundbreaking advances in longevity research are giving us the opportunity to add several healthy decades to our lives. On the other hand, some of the food choices we make can snatch precious years away from us. For example, a diet laden with trans fats increases the risk of heart disease, the world’s leading killer of adults.
The report said population coverage of best-practice policies has increased almost six-fold since WHO first called for the global elimination of industrially produced trans fat in 2018—with an elimination target set for this year. At least 43 countries have now implemented best-practice policies for tackling trans fat in food, with 2.8 billion people protected globally.
Industrially produced trans fat is commonly found in packaged foods, baked goods, cooking oils and spreads. Trans fat intake is responsible for up to 500,000 premature deaths from coronary heart disease each year around the world. WHO said that while most trans fat elimination policies to date have been implemented in higher-income countries , an increasing number of middle-income countries are implementing or adopting these policies, including Argentina, Bangladesh, India, Paraguay, the Philippines and Ukraine.
