This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHO published in 2020 a comprehensive protocol for measuring and monitoring industrially produced trans-fatty acids (TFA), intended to serve as a reference method that is globally applicable for surveillance and monitoring of TFA content for different types of foods. Although this WHO reference protocol was successfully implemented in several laboratories worldwide, some laboratories, especially those operating on a tight budget, had difficulties adopting it. To address the above challenges, WHO held a two-day, virtual WHO expert consultation meeting on 27 and 30 June 2022 to discuss simplified procedures and other suitable alternatives that enable laboratories operating with limited resources to conduct fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis. This document is a report of the two-day consultation.

This is the third progress report that WHO is publishing following the first and second reports which were published in 2019 and 2020. In 2018, WHO called for the global elimination of industrially produced TFA by 2023. Since then, countries are responding to this call to action, building global momentum around TFA elimination.

Download or read book Trans Fatty Acids written by Albert J. Dijkstra and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trans fatty acids (TFAs) have been used for many years to impart desirable physical characteristics to fats and fat blends used in food manufacturing. However, clinical trials and epidemiological studies conducted over the last thirty years have shown that TFAs can increase “bad” cholesterol levels in the blood while reducing “good” cholesterol. Accordingly, they are also linked with increased risks of coronary heart disease, thrombosis and strokes. For this reason, the food industry has been obliged to find alternatives to TFAs, thus enabling it to meet the presumed consumer demand for “low” or “no” trans fats products. The issue is becoming more and more pressing. For example, US labelling regulations now require that food manufacturers state the trans fat content of their products on the packaging. This book provides an overview of trans fatty acids in oils and fats used in food manufacture. Topics covered include: the chemistry and occurrence of TFAs; analytical methods for determining the fatty acid composition including TFAs of foods; processing techniques for reducing, minimising or even avoiding the formation of TFAs; TFA alternatives in food; health and nutrition concerns and legislative aspects. It is directed at chemists and technologists working in edible oils and fats processing and product development; food scientists and technologists; analytical chemists and nutritionists working in the food industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elimination of industrially-produced trans-fatty acids (TFA) from the global food supply by 2023 is a key target of the GPW13. Assessing and monitoring TFA content in the food supply and changes in TFA consumption in the population is one of the key action areas for countries in order to eliminate TFA. A two-day WHO expert consultation was held in Geneva Switzerland on 11 – 12 October 2018 to review and discuss the draft REPLACE “A” module, and draft protocols, and agree on approaches for TFA assessment in food and blood plasma. The consultation brought together 17 TFA experts from 14 countries, representing five of the six WHO regions. This is the meeting report of the expert consultation. The target audiences include policy makers, academic institutions and laboratories conducting TFA assessment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noncommunicable Diseases: A Compendium introduces readers to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) – what they are, their burden, their determinants and how they can be prevented and controlled. Focusing on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and chronic respiratory disease and their five shared main risk factors (tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and air pollution) as defined by the United Nations, this book provides a synopsis of one of the world’s biggest challenges of the 21st century. NCDs prematurely claim the lives of millions of people across the world every year, with untold suffering to hundreds of millions more, trapping many people in poverty and curtailing economic growth and sustainable development. While resources between and within countries largely differ, the key principles of surveillance, prevention and management apply to all countries, as does the need to focus resources on the most cost-effective and affordable interventions and the need for strong political will, sufficient resources, and sustained and broad partnerships. This compendium consists of 59 short and accessible chapters in six sections: (i) describing and measuring the burden and impact of NCDs; (ii) the burden, epidemiology and priority interventions for individual NCDs; (iii) social determinants and risk factors for NCDs and priority interventions; (iv) global policy; (v) cross-cutting issues; and (vi) stakeholder action. Drawing on the expertise of a large and diverse team of internationally renowned policy and academic experts, the book describes the key epidemiologic features of NCDs and evidence-based interventions in a concise manner that will be useful for policymakers across all parts of society, as well as for public health and clinical practitioners.

Download or read book Reformulation of food and beverage products for healthier diets written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2022-06-10 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The policy brief on “Reformulation of food and beverage products for healthier diets” is intended to set out in a readily accessible form the rationale for its area of action, synthesize the existing evidence base, highlight lessons from country experience and summarize available policy guidance. The brief addresses reformulation of highly processed foods and beverages that are energy-dense and nutrient-poor which have become cheaper, intensively marketed and more widely available. Too many people are consuming large amounts of food and beverage products high in energy, unhealthy fats, sugars and salt/sodium. Such products contribute to unhealthy diets and measures are required to eliminate industrially produced trans-fatty acids (TFA) from the food supply and to reduce the energy content per portion as well as lower the levels of saturated fats, sugars and salt/sodium in food. By driving wide-scale reformulation of foods and beverages, governments can help to ensure access to safe, sustainable and healthier diets.

This book was released on 2023-07-17 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: his guideline provides updated, evidence-informed guidance on the intake of saturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids to reduce the risk of diet-related noncommunicable diseases in adults and children, particularly cardiovascular diseases. This guideline is intended for a wide audience involved in the development, design and implementation of policies and programmes in nutrition and public health. This guideline includes recommended levels of intake for saturated fatty acids and trans-fatty acids and recommendations on preferred replacement nutrients which can be used by policy-makers and programme managers to address various aspects of saturated fatty acid and trans-fatty acid intake in their populations through a range of policy actions and public health interventions. The guidance in this guideline replaces previous WHO guidance on saturated fatty acid and trans-fatty acids intake, including that from the 1989 WHO Study Group on Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of Chronic Diseases and the 2002 Joint WHO/FAO Expert Consultation on Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of Chronic Diseases. The guidance in this guideline should be considered in the context of that from other WHO guidelines on healthy diets.
