Unfortunately, the famous miojo, very popular in Brazilian homes, is a real trans fat bomb. This is because the food has a lot of sodium in its composition, which can greatly increase the pressure of those who consume it. In addition, it has an extremely low nutritional value, which makes consumption worth practically nothing.

Who doesn't like to eat popcorn while watching a movie? The microwave has become extremely popular precisely because it is very practical to do. However, it is still an extremely industrialized product, which makes it rich in sodium and trans fat. Therefore, even if it is more laborious, popcorn made in a natural way, by frying it in water, brings much more benefits.
- industrialized ice cream
The ice cream that can be found in supermarket freezers contains a lot of sugar and trans fat. In addition, it has many preservatives, which makes a product with nutritional value completely disposable. Therefore, if you want to consume an ice cream or popsicle, it is better to do it yourself.
- French fries
French fries are one of the foods with the highest amount of trans fat, especially frozen ones. Those found in the markets, when they come pre-fried, are full of preservatives. In addition, when placed in oil, they absorb more saturated fat, which can increase anyone's cholesterol spikes.
