The 10 worst trans fats foods
Posted on Mar 12th 2007 4:00PM by Bethany SandersTrans fats have taken hold of the headlines recently: cities are banning them, restaurants are banning them, and we're all supposed to be avoiding them...but if you aren't a label reader and you're new to eliminating this cholesterol raising ingredient from your diet, you may be thinking, "What kinds of foods have trans fats?"
Here's a list to get you started. Commercial baked goods top the list of culprits, as do french fries, fast foods, and chips. But there are a few surprises on the list as well, food that you may not think contain large amounts of trans fats. For instance, flavored coffee drinks, which my husband adores, are a big offender. So are soups, even ramen noodles.
Thankfully, the FDA changed food labeling guidelines last summer. So if you're out shopping and you just aren't sure if your favorite food is trans-fat free or not, take a minute to look at the label. The number of grams of trans fats per serving should be listed there, helping you to make better decisions about your food.
