(HealthDayNews) -- Recent research has left little doubt about the link between trans fats and heart disease.
Reduce your intake of these dangerous fats with these suggestions from the Harvard Men's Health Watch:
- Avoid fried foods, chips, crackers, and other fatty snack foods.
- Eat fewer commercially baked pastries, cookies, cakes, muffins and breads.
- Try cooking with canola or olive oil instead of margarine, hardened vegetable shortening, or butter.
- Read food labels carefully. Reduce consumption of products containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
- Eat your bread dry or use honey or jam in the morning and olive oil in the evening.
