FATBOYS

We’ve long been told that too many of the saturated fats found in meat and dairy products can clog up the arteries and cause heart disease and heart attacks. But gram for gram, trans fats are still more dangerous according to the European Food Safety Authority. While raising levels of ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDLs), they also reduce levels of ‘good’ cholesterol (HDLs).

The Trans Fat Top Ten in the Which? survey was:

• KFC Colonel’s regular crispy strips and fries
  
• McDonald’s McNuggets and regular fries
  
• Saxby’s reasy-rolled short pastry
  
• Tesco toffee fudge shortbread
  
• Burger King whopper and regular fries
  
• Sainsbury’s puff-pastry beef and onion pie
  
• Lidl le cheef cheese, onion and chives quiche
  
• Cadbury’s Boost bar
  
• Aunt Bessie’s homestyle roast potatoes
  
• Asda sausage roll
