Hydrogen Beta-carotene

A case-control study (Ascherio et al., 1994), a cross-sectional study (Bolton-Smith et al., 1996) and three prospective studies the Nurses Health Study (Willett et al., 1993), the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study (Pietinen et al., 1997), and the Zutphen Elderly Study (Oomen et al., 2001), separately assessed the effect of TFAs from hydrogenated vegetable oil and animal fat on the risk of CHD. With the exception of the small Zutpen Elderly Study (Oomen et al., 2001), the studies found that the positive association with the risk of CHD was explained entirely by the intake of TFAs from hydrogenated vegetable oil.
