Woo Hoo! I-FDA iyakuValela ngokusemthethweni i-Trans Fat ngo-2018

Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo, xa iU.S.Ukutya kunye noLawulo lweeDrug (i-FDA) yabhengeza ukuba bathathela ingqalelo ukugxothwa kwamafutha kukutya okucutshungulwayo, sonwabile kodwa sathi cwaka kamnandi ukuze singayidibanisi. Izolo, nangona kunjalo, i-FDA ibhengeze ukuba baqhubela phambili ngokusemthethweni nesicwangciso sokucoca iishelufa zevenkile. Inxalenye yeoyile ye-hydrogenated (PHOs), owona mthombo uphambili wamafutha kukutya okucutshungulwayo, ngokusesikweni "akusaziwa ngokubanzi njengekhuselekileyo," okanye i-GRAS. (Ngokuyinxenye i-hydr-what? I-Mystery Food Additives kunye nezithako ukusuka ku-A ukuya ku-Z.)

"Oku kuzimisela kusekelwe kuphando olubanzi kwimiphumo ye-PHOs, kunye negalelo elivela kubo bonke abachaphazelekayo abafunyenwe ngexesha lokuphawula koluntu [phakathi kwesibhengezo sokuqwalaselwa kunye nesigwebo sokugqibela]," kusho uSusan Mayne, Ph.D., umlawuli we Iziko le-FDA loKhuseleko loKutya kunye neSondlo esisetyenzisiweyo. Kwaye olo phando luyakholisa: Izifundo zibonise ukutyiwa kwe-fat fat kwandisa umngcipheko wesifo sentliziyo, kuphakamisa amanqanaba amabi e-cholesterol, kwehlisa amanqanaba aphezulu e-cholesterol, kwaye nokuba, ngokophando olutsha, ukungqubana nenkumbulo yakho.

Kodwa yintoni i-heck ehambisa amafutha ukuqala ngayo? Yimveliso yee-PHOs kwaye iyile ngenkqubo ethumela i-hydrogen ngeoyile, ibangela ukuba le yokugqibela itshintshe ubukhulu, umbala, kwaye nokuba yomelele. Esi sithako seFrankenstein sinika ukutya okucutshungulweyo ixesha elide kwishelufu kwaye kuchaphazela incasa kunye noburhabaxa.

Nangona i-FDA iqikelela ukuba ipesenti yabantu abatya i-fat fat yehle nge-78 yeepesenti phakathi kwe-2003 kunye ne-2012, esi sigwebo siya kuqinisekisa ukuba iipesenti ezingama-22 ezisele azivelwanga kwityhefu enetyhefu-kubaluleke ngakumbi kuthathelwa ingqalelo izikhokelo zelebhile ezikhoyo zokutya ukujikeleza nantoni na engaphantsi kwe-0.5g / ukukhonza ukuya kwi-zero, ukuyenza ibonakale ngathi amanqanaba asezantsi awakho kutya kwakho. (Ngaba Uyawa Ngala maLizwi eLayibhile yokutya ali-10?)

Ke yintoni eza kungcamla ngokwahlukileyo kwishelufa yevenkile? Ukutya okuchaphazeleka kakhulu kuya kuba yibhokisi ebhakwe ebhokisini (njengeekuki, iikeyiki kunye neepayi ezibandisiweyo), ukutya okusekwe kwifriji okusekwe kwintlama (njengeebhiskithi kunye neesinamon rolls) othanda incasa engakholelekiyo kwaye unomhla wokuphelelwa lixesha okungekho ngqiqweni.

Iinkampani zineminyaka emithathu yokuphelisa konke ukusetyenziswa kwee-PHOs ekutyeni kwazo, okuthetha ukuba awuzukuba nexhala lokungena ngengozi izinto ezizayo ngo-2018.
