Foods with trans fat?

[Mrvile]

I've never really seen any foods with any amounts of trans fat in it. I'd assume steak and some stuff like that has it, but I'm not sure.

Look at the ingredients. If it says "hydrogenated" or "partially-hydrogenated" anywhere on there... it has trans fats in it.

Oh I see. What foods are commonly hydrogenated or partially-hydrogenated?

Buttered popcorn is one.

Really? I thought i'd seen things with partially-hydrogenated oil or whatever without trans fat.. saturated, of course..

Jif has hydrogenated oil in it.

Hateful moms choose Jif.

Not the food itself... just the ingredients in the food. Hydrogenation is a process that solidifies fats. As an example: If you look at the ingredients of most peanut butters, you'll probably see that they use partially-hydrogenated peanut oil. This keeps the oil from rising to the top (Like it does with Adams Peanut Butter).

Just look at the label. Most foods seem to use hydrogenated oils in one form or anther although the food industry seems to be waking up and removing such items from use.

Hmm, I don't remember peanut butter having any trans fat. Lemme go check...

EDIT: The JIF we have in the pantry doesn't have any trans fat...

McDonald's french fries. They are in the news right now for fixing the trans fat label (it was misleadingly low before).

Wrong. If it says fully hydrogenated then it has no transfat. Partially does however. If it just says hydrogenated then assume partially.

stuff with processed fat or fat cooked at high temps. like potato crisps, margarine, biscuits, etc.

steak should be fine (so long as it isn't cooked in crappy oil I spose).

Steak? No, unless it's fried.

French fries, snack foods, pre-made food, etc...

Trans fats are oils that have been altered with some sort of hydrogenation process. It increases its shelf life. The bad thing is that it changes the chemical composition of the fat so little that your body uses it for cell membranes, brain cells, etc, but so different that it doesn't do it's job in your body.
