Looking for a Heart Attack on a Plate? It's Easier Than You Think
04/19/2009

There are a lot of places to find one. Even though the Food Police have declared trans fats Public Health Enemy Number One, and started cracking down on restaurants serving dishes made with it.

David Zinczenko, Men's Health editor and author of Eat This Not That, found some of our favorite places still insist on cooking with the stuff, typically partially hydrogenated oil, that increases bad cholesterol and lowers good cholesterol. and they've gotten really good at hiding it on their menus. (A loophole in the FDA guidelines let's them say "zero trans fats" even if it has up to .5 grams of it.)

Who are the worst offenders? Zinczenko dug through dozens of menus to find out. And here are a few of the baddest of the bad. The stuff you're gonna want to stay away from if you plan on being around for a while.

This is just a partial list. For the whole story, and their recommendations for healthier choices from each restaurant, hit the link at the end.
