RT Journal A1 Brandt E T1 TRans-fatty acid levels in white adults JF JAMA JO JAMA YR 2012 FD June 13 VO 307 IS 22 SP 2370 OP 2371 DO 10.1001/jama.2012.5146 UL http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.2012.5146 AB The authors found a similar decrease in all 4 TFAs studied. Various TFA-containing foods have profiles with specific TFA content. For example, ruminant TFAs, derived mostly from dairy products, are primarily vaccenic acid and cis-9,trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid (C9,T11-CLA), while TFAs from industrial sources are mostly elaidic acid.2- 3 Only 13% to 17% of vaccenic acid intake comes from hydrogenated plant oils.3 If the change in TFAs observed in the study is attributed solely to 2003 legislative changes, one would expect to have found decreases in all TFAs but with less alteration to vaccenic acid.
