How Fats Compare
(Page 2)
How do I find foods that will help protect my heart?
Read food labels carefully. Compare the nutrition information of similar food products when you shop. Foods with less than 3 grams of fat in a serving are lowfat. They may be heart healthy options. To avoid foods that contain trans fats, choose foods without any ‘partially hydrogenated' oils or shortening listed on the label. For example, many types of tub or squeeze margarine are better choices than stick margarines, which have trans fat. Review the chart on the next page to see lists of foods with fats that can protect your heart and those foods with fats to avoid.
