Dieticians and Nutritionists know that the optimal amount of trans fats to eat in our diets is ZERO. And yet, did you know that animal foods contain trans fats and not just processed foods? Eighty percent of trans fats come from processed foods; the other 20% occur naturally in meat and dairy products. Although meat and dairy contain small amounts of trans fats, they can also be loaded with the equally unhealthy saturated fats, says nutritionist Elizabeth Ward, MS, RD. Trans fats in meat and dairy are only a concern to people who eat large quantities of full-fat dairy and high-fat meat, says Ward. Choosing low-fat dairy and lean meats will reduce the harmful trans and saturated fats The Nurses study showed that when the nurses cut down on fat and ate low-fat dairy and meat products, their protein content went UP which, according to The China Study, was why they didnt get lower rates of breast cancer because the PROTEIN in animal foods was what was causing the cancer and the IGF-1. So, the moral of the story is this: there is NO OPTIMAL amount of animal foods or trans fats we should be getting from our diets if you want to be healthy and disease free. How Much Is Too Much? There is no dietary recommendation for trans fatty acids; consumption should be kept as low as possible Theresa Nicklas, DrPh, tells WebMD. Nicklas is a member of the 2005 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. Trans fats increase LDL bad cholesterol levels, which increases the risk for heart disease, says Nicklas, who is also a professor of pediatrics at the Baylor College of Medicine.
