The correct answer is 1 and 3 only.

Key Points

  • Trans Fat:
    • ​Trans fatty acids (TFAs) or Trans fats are the most harmful type of fats which can have much more adverse effects on the human body than any other dietary constituent.
    • These fats are largely produced artificially but a small amount also occurs naturally. Thus in our diet, these may be present as Artificial TFAs and/ or Natural TFAs. Artificial TFAs are formed when hydrogen is made to react with the oil to produce fats resembling pure ghee/butter.
    • In our diet, the major sources of artificial TFAs are partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHVO)/vanaspati/ margarine while natural TFAs are present in meats and dairy products, though in small amounts.
    • If items do not contain trans-fats, it means the food products are not made out of hydrogenated oils. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
    • In our diet, the major sources of artificial TFAs are the partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHVO)/vanaspati/ margarine while the natural TFAs are present in meats and dairy products, though in small amounts. Hence, statement 2 is not correct.
    • Harmful effects:
      • ​TFAs pose a higher risk of heart disease than saturated fats. While saturated fats raise total cholesterol levels, TFAs not only raise total cholesterol levels but also reduce good cholesterol (HDL), which helps to protect us against heart disease. If items do not contain trans-fats, it means the oils used are not likely to damage the cardiovascular health of the consumers. Hence, statement 3 is correct.
      • Trans fats consumption increases the risk of developing heart disease and stroke.
      • It is also associated with a higher risk of developing obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, infertility, and certain types of cancers and can also lead to compromised fetal development causing harm to the yet to be born baby.
