You are right the biology text books claim that trans-“unsaturated” fatty acids can be metabolized. Note : - The text books make it clear that “Trans” means the fatty acid is unsaturated and can be monounsaturated or polyunsaturated.
Trans fatty acids are generally being blamed so as to keep to the unfortunate false “theory” that certain poly unsaturated fatty acids are essential for humans. This false “theory” is the basis for the epidemic of obesity and most of the strange and lifestyle diseases. The actual culprits of the epidemic of lifestyle diseases is the high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (both trans and cis) we consume through the processed unsaturated vegetable fats.
Check from your text books, atherosclerotic plaque is made up of oxidised polyunsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol (which has been labelled LDL cholesterol).
Prostaglandins, which are produced in the body by polyunsaturated fatty acids, have been identified by many different research studies as the molecules underlying diseases and ailments such as diabetes, asthma, cancers, dysmenorrhea (menstrual pains), baldness, cramps and muscle pull, migraine, glaucoma, delivery and labour problems, etc.
Aspirin according to the research results, reduces the chances of cancer occurrence or dying early from cancer. Aspirin stops the production of prostaglandins in the body.
