6. Fried foods

French fries, fried chicken, and all those greasy fried pickles and chips in a restaurant appetizer sampler are usually cooked in vats of hydrogenated oils.

Some states have banned restaurants from using trans fats, but not all. Unless you know an establishment does not fry their foods in hydrogenated oils, assume that it does. But we know how appealing that crispy crunch can be, so the next time you need a fried foods fix, opt for these cleaner picks instead.
