Big picture
| Time period | Development summary | More details |
|---|---|---|
| Ancient times | Early history | Fatty acids are used already in very early times, specifically in the preparation of soap. The ancient Babylonians use soap as early as 2500 BC. By 800 AD–900 AD, the soap industry is well established in Germany and France.[1] |
| 18th–19th centuries | Early scientific development | Cholesterol in solid form is identified in the 18th century. In the 19th century Michel Eugène Chevreul stands out for his prolific research on fats. In the 19th century, one of the most important discoveries is the introduction of an industrially relevant method to split fats and oils into fatty acids and glycerin.[1] |
| 20th century (first half) | Recognition of fat importance | Dietary fat is recognized as a good source of energy and fat-soluble vitamins by the first part of the century.[2] Proteins and carbohydrates are known to be indispensable dietary components by the first decade.[2] In the 1920s, industrial hydrogenation of edible oils develops in Europe and the United States.[3] During the first half of the century, higher-fat milk and dairy products are more costly.[4] Lipases and colipases are isolated and characterized.[4] In the 1930s Burr and Burr demonstrate the concept that some fatty acids may be necessary for the proper growth and development of animals.[5] Concern over the health impacts of trans fats first emerge in the 1940s.[6] |
| 20th century (second half) | Recognition of potential harm | Research on trans fatty acids begin in the 1950s.[7] By the late 1950s, scientists establish a clear link between the intake of saturated fat and heart disease,[6][8] while health advocates start proposing a reduction saturated fats, such as in butter and beef, from the diets, which propells the use of margarine instead, a trend that would increase abruptly toward the 1980s.[9] Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, saturated fat begin acquiring a bad reputation.[10] In the 1960s, essential fatty acids start being considered of importance in human nutrition.[5] In the 1970s, saturated fat is condemned as harmful since Ancel Keys’s landmark “seven countries” study.[11] In the 1980s, an association between high intake of saturated fat and increased risk of heart disease is firmly established,[6] however, this era's recommendations about switching to a low-fat diet are not supported by science, with any high-quality evidence to support that advice.[10] In the 1990s, evidence emerges indicating that trans fats carry a higher risk for heart disease than saturated fats.[6] Several studies conducted in this decade show a connection between trans fat and increased levels of bad cholesterol.[9] |
| 21st century | Policy enforcement/change in sentiment | In the early 2000s, health agencies in various countries worldwide recognize the need to introduce regulations controlling the amount of trans fats used in manufactured foods.[6] In recent times, there's an increasing debate over the role saturated fats play in the development of heart disease, with more experts claiming that saturated fats not only are not that harmful,[12] but even healthy.[13][14] Today, a general consensus claims that trans fats are harmful, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are healthy, and saturated fats are regarded somewhere in-between.[15] Scientists universally accept that trans fats increase the risk of cardiovascular disease through inflammatory processes.[11] |
Full timeline
| Year | Event type | Key topic | Fat type (when applicable) | Details | Location |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 800 AD | Industrial development | Fatty acid | Soap, which is a salt of a fatty acid, is produced in Germany.[1] | Germany | |
| 1551 | Scientific development | Adipose tissue | Adipose tissue – more specifically brown adipose tissue– is first identified by Swiss naturalist Conrad Gessner.[16] | ||
| 1769 | Scientific development | Cholesterol | François Poulletier de la Salle first identifies cholesterol in solid form in gallstones. Some consider this to be the start of the story of lipids in humans.[17] | France | |
| 1770s | Medical development | Fish liver oil | Unsaturated (polyunsaturated (ω−3)) | Reports from this time indicate that fish liver oils are used for the treatment of rickets, osteomalacia, general malnutrition, and eye conditions, thus linking, for the first time, fish liver oils and the factor termed “fat-soluble A.”[4] Today, it is known that fish body oil and fish liver oil are rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids, which can help control the immune system and fight joint inflammation.[18] | |
| 1779 | Scientific development | Glycerol | Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele discovers that glycerol could be obtained from olive oil by heating it with litharge (lead monoxide).[19] Along with fatty acids, glycerol is one of the two main components of a fat molecule.[20] | Sweden | |

It describes a hardstock that is obtained by interesterifying palm stearin with a lauric oil. However, neither of these components is hydrogenated, and consequently, the interesterification product contains quite a large proportion of triglycerides that do not contribute to blend consistency but nevertheless introduce saturated fatty acids.[67] | ||
| 1970 | Scientific development | Cardiovascular disease | Saturated | A study analizing populations in seven countries associates diets high in saturated fat intake with cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease.[10][117] This study would be later considered deeply flawed, with more recent consensus favoring saturated fats.[13] | |

| 1976 | Scientific development | Cardiovascular disease | Saturated, trans fat | The Nurses' Health Study is incepted as a cohort study following 120,000 female nurses. The researchers would analyze data from 900 coronary events from the study's population during 14 years of followup, and would determine that a nurse's coronary artery disease (CAD) risk roughly doubled (relative risk of 1.93, confidence interval: 1.43 to 2.61) for each 2% increase in trans fat calories consumed (instead of carbohydrate calories). By contrast, for each 5% increase in saturated fat calories (instead of carbohydrate calories) there was a 17% increase in risk (relative risk of 1.17, CI: 0.97 to 1.41). The replacement of saturated fat or trans unsaturated fat by cis (unhydrogenated) unsaturated fats is associated with larger reductions in risk than an isocaloric replacement by carbohydrates.[120] The researchers would also report on the benefits of reducing trans fat consumption. Replacing 2% of food energy from trans fat with non-trans unsaturated fats more than halves the risk of CAD (53%). By comparison, replacing a larger 5% of food energy from saturated fat with non-trans unsaturated fats reduces the risk of CAD by 43%.

| 2014 (March) | Scientific development | Cardiovascular disease | Saturated | An article published in the Annals of Internal Medicine reports that eating less saturated fat doesn’t actually lower a person’s risk for heart disease. The study concludes that the evidence does not clearly support cardiovascular guidelines that encourage high consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids and low consumption of total saturated fats.[196][197] | |
| 2014 (July 23) | Recommendation | Sugar | An article published on Time reports on an excesive focus on fats and suggests a turn into a focus on the harmful effect of sugar. The article reads: "Now it's becoming clear that even the saturated fat found in a medium-rare steak or a slab of butter has a more complex and, in some cases, benign effect on the body than previously thought. ... New research suggests that it's the overconsumption of carbohydrates, sugar and sweeteners that is chiefly responsible for the epidemics of obesity and Type 2 diabetes."[10] | ||
| 2014 | Scientific development | Butter | Saturated | New York Times food writer Mark Bittman writes article titled Butter is back, which goes through the research on how saturated fat isn't nearly as harmful as it was thought and argues that artificial foods (like margarine) should be ditched in favor of natural foods (like butter).[10][198] | |
| 2014 | Policy | Fat | Certification mark | It becomes obligatory in Israel to mark food products with more than 2% of fat by weight.[199] | Israel |

| 2015 | Recommendation | Cholesterol, saturated fat | The United States Department of Agriculture Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) recommends that Americans eat as little dietary cholesterol as possible, because most foods that are rich in cholesterol are also high in saturated fat and thereby may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.[201][202][10] | United States | |
| 2015 | Recommendation | Partially hydrogenated oil | The Food and Drug Administration Trusted Source states that partially hydrogenated oil is not safe, and removing it from food could prevent thousands of heart attacks each year.[203] | United States | |
| 2015 | Policy | Artificial trans-fat | Trans fat | The Food and Drug Administration decides that artificial trans-fat must be removed from the food supply in United States over the next 3 years because of health concern. However, all trans-fat would not be eliminated because those which occur naturally in meat and dairy products would still be permitted. FDA also agrees that small amount of TFAs produced during commercial refining can remain.[63] | United States |
| 2015 | Scientific development | Cardiovascular disease | Saturated | A review by British international charitable organization Cochrane of long-term randomized controlled trials on saturated fat, finds that reducing one's saturated fat intake can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, but it depends on what food is being replaced with, as people who replace saturated fat with unsaturated fat got the most benefit.[10][204] | United Kingdom |
| 2015 | Recommendation | Trans fat | Trans fat | The Food and Drug Administration Trusted Source declares that trans fat is not “generally recognized as safe” and has to be phased out by 2018.[203] | United States |
| 2015 | Scientific development | Cardiovascular disease | A study published on The BMJ re-evaluating the traditional diet-heart hypothesis concludes that replacing poly-unsaturated fat with saturated fat does not seem to reduce the risk of mortality.[10][205] | ||
| 2015 | Scientific development | Western pattern diet | Unsaturated (polyunsaturated (ω−3)) | According to a study, trans fats are one of several components of Western pattern diets which promote acne, along with carbohydrates with high glycemic load such as refined sugars or refined starches, milk and dairy products, and saturated fats, while omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce acne, are deficient in Western pattern diets.[206] | |
| 2015 | Scientific development | Mental health | Trans fat | A study argues that "greater dietary trans fatty acid consumption is linked to worse word memory in adults during years of high productivity, adults age <45".[207] | |
| 2015 | Scientific development | Weight loss | A stury published on The Lancet analizing the effect of low-fat diet interventions versus other diet interventions on long-term weight change in adults, concludes that people on low-fat diets don't lose more weight.[10][208] | ||
| 2016 | Literature | Fat | Michelle Phillipov publishes Fats: A Global History.[209] | ||
| 2017 | Scientific development | Cardiovascular disease | Unsaturated (polyunsaturated) | A review by the American Heart Association estimates that replacement of saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat in the American diet could reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases by 30%.[210] | United States |
| 2017 | Policy | Trans fat | Trans fat | Health Canada announces complete ban of trans fats in the country.[211] | Canada |
| 2018 | Program launch | Cardiovascular disease | Trans fat | The World Health Organization launches a plan to eliminate trans fat from the global food supply. They estimate that trans fat leads to more than 500,000 deaths from cardiovascular disease yearly.[212] | |
| 2018 | Statistics | Energy homeostasis | Trans fat | The 2018 Dutch Nutrition Survey reports that in this year, trans fatty acids only provided ∼0.3% of the daily energy requirement, as opposed to 5–10% several decades ago.[107] | |
| 2018 | Literature | Fat | Vinood B. Patel publishes The Molecular Nutrition of Fats, which presents the nutritional and molecular aspects of fats by assessing their dietary components, their structural and metabolic effects on the cell, and their role in health and disease.[213] | ||
| 2019 | Policy | Partially-hydrogenated oil | The Ministry of Health of Singapore announces that partially-hydrogenated oils (PHOs) will be banned.[214] | Singapore | |
| 2020 | Policy | Trans fat | Trans fat | The Saudi Minister of Health announces the ban of trans fat in all food products in the country due to their health risks.[215] | Saudi Arabia |
| 2020 (August 19) | Policy | Trans fat | Trans fat | The President of Romania promulgates a law that limits trans fats to 2 grams per every 100 grams of fat, max. The food producers not conforming would be fined with a sum ranging between 10,000 and 30,000 lei.[216][217] | Romania |
| 2021 (January 20) | Scientific development | Saturated fat | Saturated | Michael Easter publishes an article prominently featuring Harvard professor Walter Willett, who discusses his research, the challenges of conducting large-scale and rigorous nutrition studies, and his critics. Willett notes that his studies have consistently shown that when it comes to heart disease, saturated fats—which are found primarily in meat and dairy products—aren’t necessarily bad but they’re not necessarily good.[218][219] | United States |
| 2021 | Scientific development | Cardiovascular disease | Saturated | A review finds that diets high in saturated fat are associated with higher mortality from all-causes and cardiovascular disease.[220] | |
