据外媒报道，美国政府近期宣布3年后将全面禁用反式脂肪，为保障消费者健康，有医学专家认为，糖份、饱和脂肪与精致碳水化合物（refined carbohydrates），也可能是继反式脂肪后的下一步目标。

美国教授薛曼（Thomas Sherman）指出，由于反式脂肪严重危害健康，当反式脂肪摄取量增加时，疾病风险会随之升高。继反式脂肪之后，糖份、饱和脂肪、精致碳水化合物等，都有可能被限制，尤其是添加糖份。

After years of research showing the harms of trans fat, the unhealthy substance has finally been banned as a food additive. But now that trans fat has been taken off the table, is there another highly concerning ingredient that should be banned next?

Experts say there really is no exact parallel to trans fat; the ingredient is unique in just how bad it is for you, how common it was in the food supply and how unessential it was for nutrition. But there are a few candidates for the “next trans fat,” although they will probably be harder to regulate, experts said.
