Trans fat(g/100g)

Natural ruminant transA high intake raised LDL like industrial trans; a moderate intake was neutral (Motard-Bélanger 2008, AJCN). Gram for gram, ruminant and industrial trans raised the LDL to HDL ratio by about the same amount (0.038 vs 0.055 per % energy, no significant difference) (Brouwer 2010, PLoS One). Scored: WHO 2023 counts both sources.
