Introduction
In general, plant-based cream is not something the body can never metabolize. Plant-based cream contains trans fatty acids, which are typically fully absorbed by the human body after consumption, but require a certain amount of time to be completely metabolized—it is not the case that the body can never break it down. However, long-term consumption may increase the risk of conditions such as high blood lipid levels and diabetes, thereby having certain negative impacts on overall health.

Generally, plant-based cream is not something the body can never metabolize.

Plant-based cream is typically made from vegetable oils, milk powder, salt, and other ingredients, and is commonly used in foods such as birthday cakes and mousse cakes. It contains trans fatty acids, which are usually fully absorbed by the body after consumption. However, it takes some time—approximately 50 days—for the body to completely metabolize them; they are not permanently retained in the body. Moreover, long-term consumption of this substance may increase the risk of conditions such as high blood lipid levels and diabetes, potentially affecting overall health.

In daily life, if you experience any discomfort or symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly and undergo proper treatment to prevent serious impacts on your health.
