The Worst Foods for your Cholesterol in America

Trans-Fattiest Soup
Schlotzky's Wisconsin Cheese Soup Bowl
5 g trans fat 460 calories 33 g fat (14 g saturated) 1,821 mg sodium
Schlotzky's Web site proudly claims "our soups are made with the highest quality ingredients and freshly cooked every day for optimum flavor." In the Bizzaro World of fast-food marketing, "high quality" translates into nearly a day's worth of sodium and twice your daily limit of trans fat. This dish has the dubious distinction of being one of the only soups we've ever seen with a significant trans-fat load. Even if you switched from the oversize bowl to a cup, you'd still take in 4 grams of the stuff. Our suspicion is that a decidedly low-quality cheese is to blame. Cheese has fat, of course, but only the cheap imitation stuff contains partially hydrogenated oil.

Trans-Fattiest Cold Treat
Dairy Queen Chocolate Xtreme Blizzard (large)
6.5 g trans fat 1,440 calories 67 g fat (33 g saturated) 165 g sugars
Not a single Blizzard, shake, or malt at Dairy Queen comes without trans fat - which is ridiculous, because most other ice cream and smoothie places manage to leave it out of their products. This Chocolate Xtreme Blizzard is terrifying on every nutritional level: It's the sugar equivalent of 6 packs of peanut M&Ms, the caloric equivalent of nearly 6 McDonald's hamburgers, and more than three times your daily limit of trans fat.
