Trans Fat: Experts could not provide a reference value for trans fat nor any other information that FDA believes is sufficient to establish a Daily Value or %DV. Scientific reports link trans fat (and saturated fat) with raising blood LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels, both of which increase your risk of coronary heart disease, a leading cause of death in the US. Important: Health experts recommend that you keep your intake of saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol as low as possible as part of a nutritionally balanced diet."

The Harvard School of Public Health is more direct in its warning against intake of trans fats: "Trans fats are even worse for cholesterol levels than saturated fats because they raise bad LDL and lower good HDL. While you should limit your intake of saturated fats, it is important to eliminate trans fats from partially hydrogenated oils from your diet." Source Harvard SPH

When it was discovered that eating saturated fats increases the risk for coronary heart disease, the food industry turned to partial hydrogenation. This process lowerd the content of saturated fat in vegetable shortening and margarine, but also dramatically increased the amount of a certain kind of fat - trans fat - in our diets. While suppliers praised processed vegetable oils as healthy unsaturated and cholesterol-free substitutes for animal fats, there is now strong evidence that introducing trans-fatty acids into our diets does more harm than good.

Omega 3

Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA)

Os cidos graxos mega 3, como o cido alfa-linolnico, cido eicosapentaenico e o cido docosahexanico, so cidos carboxlicos poliinsaturados sem os quais nosso organismo no funciona adequadamente. Por essa razo, este cido graxo chamado de essencial e deve ser includo na dieta alimentar, assim como o mega 6. A ingesto do mega 3 auxilia a diminuir os nveis de triglicerdeos e colesterol total, enquanto que o excesso dele pode retardar a coagulao sangnea. um importante mediador de alergias e processo inflamatrios, pois so necessrios para a formao das prostaglandinas inflamatrias, tromboxanos e leucotrienos.

Good and Bad Cholesterol

Are you aware that good and bad cholesterol exist? Good cholesterol is actually a kind of lipoprotein (combination of proteins and lipids) called HDL. It carries cholesterol to the liver, where it is changed to bile salts and eventually sent out of the body. LVDL and LDL are the "baddies" and they are also lipoproteins. They carry cholesterol through the bloodstream to the body cells. But in excess, they may form fatty deposits in the artery walls and block the blood flow.
