How to avoid trans fat and prevent heart disease and heart attack?

In 2004 bantransfat.com tried to sue McDonalds for using cooking oil that contained trans fat, or partially hydrogenated oils. Bantransfat.com lost because, after all, most people couldnâ??t see why trans fat is so much worse than other fats in our diet. Things have changed in the past two years however, and from January 2006 the FDA required all nutritional labels to list trans fat separately, and not as part of other fats. The reason is that studies have found that trans fat may be one of the causes of heart attack and heart disease in the States. The American Heart Association advises Americans to eat as little of it as possible.

Trans fat is found in partially hydrogenated oil, which has a longer shelf life than ordinary oils. Foods that contain trans fat include fried chicken, cookies, French fries, and doughnuts, which is why many Americans can find them difficult to avoid. It is one of four kinds of fat that are found in our diet, the other three being monounsaturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, and saturated fat. Mono- and poly- unsaturated fats are considered â??goodâ? fats that should be part of a healthy diet. Most research concludes that we should reduce saturated fat in our diet and keep consupmtion as low as possible, especially among adults. It is best to avoid trans fat as much as possible, which is why the FDAâ??s ruling is so useful for those who want to eat a healthy diet.

Along with taking the right supplements for a healthy heart, it is recommended that we all avoid trans fat as part of a healthy balanced diet.

   What are some common household foods with high trans fats?
   Something I could bring in for a project. I'm doing a report on cardiology and part of it is keeping your heart healthy, avoiding high trans fat foods.
