Professor Fred Kamalaor of the University of Illinois has continued to complain of danger as trans fatty acids are a material that clogs the artery for more than 60 years. A scientist who will be 100 years old in 2015, in 2013Lawsuit against FDA seeking ban on trans fatty acidsIt is also the person who raised. Professor Camarau told the Washington Post interview "Science has won, the most important thing is that our foods do not contain trans fatty acids."


In the 1950s, when Mr. Camarau investigated an artery of a patient who died of heart disease, he found a high concentration artificial trans fatty acid in the arterial tissue. For decades or more before the risk of trans fatty acids is generally pointed out, Mr. Camarlo has started research on trans fatty acids. Later, Mr. Camarau was a mouse given an artificial trans fatty acidAtherosclerosis, And proved that the mouse regains the normal artery when interrupting the intake of trans fatty acids.

Mr. Camarau, who continued his research, published his research results pointing out the risk of trans fatty acids to cause arteriosclerosis in 1957. Mr. Camarau, who worked in the American Heart Association subcommittee ten years later, said he continued to persuade the food industry to reduce the content of trans fatty acids such as shortening and margarine. Mr. Camararo intently advocated the risk of trans fatty acids, while artificial trans fatty acids continued to be used as a major additive in processed foods for decades.

Many scientists in the 1980sSaturated fatty acidMore than lard and butter containing a lot, like margarine and shorteningSemi-hardened oilI believed it was safer. The food industry also denied the abolition of inexpensive trans fatty acids that would improve the taste by prolonging the expiration date of food, but Mr. Camarlo continued research and warning on the dangers of trans fatty acids.

In the 1990s, a number of studies showing that trans fatty acids are causative agents for increasing the incidence of cardiac diseases are beginning to be published. In 1994Public Interest Science Center(CSPI) asked the FDA to display trans fatty acids on nutrition labels, and since 2006 the indication of trans fatty acids contained in food is mandated. In 2002American Medical Research Institute"There are no standards for safe intake of trans fatty acids, so we should not eat as much as possible." Public opinion on the dangers of trans fatty acids began to trend and the food industry also began to remove trans fatty acids from several foods.

In addition, Mr. Camararo submitted a citizen petition that gathered 3,000 signatures to the FDA, along with a research report proving the dangers of trans fatty acids in 2009. I requested a ban on trans fatty acids in all American foods. Mr. Camarau filed a lawsuit against FDA and the United States Department of Health and Human Services in 2013, as no response was received after four years from the filing of the petition. As a result of the lawsuit, the FDA announced plans to exclude trans fatty acids from food, and finally trans fatty acids were completely banned in 2015.
