Sensible Products - TFAs (Trans Fatty Acids)

What are Trans Fats?
Trans fats are unsaturated fatty acids.

Trans fats are produced by partial hydrogenation of unsaturated vegetable oils. In fact, a small amount of trans fat is naturally occurring in animal-based products such as beef and milk.

What is the RDA for trans fats?
The scientific community has still not established a Daily Value for trans fat.

As a rule of thumb, it is more important to monitor total fat than just trans fat. Health experts recommend that you keep your intake of both saturated and trans fats combined to 10% or less of the total calories consumed each day. For a healthy individual who eats 2,000 calories daily, that amounts to 22 grams of saturated and trans fat per day.
