We know that trans fats are extremely unhealthy and that they can be found in fried foods, sweets, and animal products. They are, however, lurking in many other products that we usually consider healthy, so here are some surprising foods that still contain trans fats.
Microwave Popcorn
Popcorn is one of the healthiest movie snacks you can choose as long as you avoid microwave popcorn and make it the old-fashioned way. Microwave popcorn contains flavorings that are packed with trans fats so it’s best to avoid them.
Coffee Creamers
Non-dairy coffee creamer contains trans fats, which is why many people are now replacing it with almond or coconut milk, honey, spices, and more.
Frozen Pizza
Unfortunately, frozen pizza is also on the list of foods that contain trans fats, so even though it’s less convenient it’s always better to prepare homemade pizza instead.
Tortillas
Not all tortillas contain trans fat, but some of them do, so it’s best to always check the ingredient list before you buy them.
Margarine
We all know that margarine is not healthy, and that’s because it’s usually packed with trans fats. Even though it’s a bit more expensive, try to use butter instead of margarine whenever you can.
