In our analysis of prospective studies totaling 140,000 men and women, we determined that intake of 2% of total calories from trans fats (or 40 calories/day, for a typical 2000 calorie/day diet) was associated with 23% higher risk of heart attacks or death from heart disease. This indicates that for every 100,000 individuals suffering a heart attack or death from heart disease each year, 19,000 of these would be prevented if the average trans fat intake were reduced by approximately 40 calories/day.
2． 极低的反型脂肪摄入量也与心脏病风险的显著升高有关联。通过对参与预期研究的总共140，000位男性与女性的分析，我们发现从反型脂肪中摄入占总量2%的热量（或从典型的每天2000卡热量的日常食物中摄入40卡路里）就和心脏病发病或导致死亡风险提高23%有关。这意味着在每年十万个患心脏病或由此致死的人中，如果每天摄入反型脂肪的量降低约40卡路里，那么有19，000个人都能幸免。
