What food has trans fat?

You're right to be asking about trans fat! It's something to be mindful of in your diet.

Trans fat is primarily found in processed foods. Here are some common sources:

* Partially hydrogenated oils: This is the main source of trans fat. Look for it in ingredient lists.

* Fried foods: Many restaurants use partially hydrogenated oils for deep frying.

* Baked goods: Cookies, crackers, cakes, pastries, and even some breads may contain trans fats.

* Microwave popcorn: The butter flavoring often contains trans fat.

* Frozen pizza: Many frozen pizzas have trans fats in the crust or toppings.

* Margarine: Some margarines contain trans fat, so check the label carefully.

* Fast food: Many fast food items, like burgers and fries, contain trans fat.

It's important to note:

* Many food manufacturers are now phasing out trans fats, so you may find fewer products containing them.

* Look for "0g trans fat" on food labels - but be aware that even small amounts can still have negative health effects.

* "Partially hydrogenated oil" on a label means there's trans fat - avoid these products.

If you're concerned about trans fat intake, it's best to focus on a diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein.
