Fat contained in fast food varies by country: study - Yahoo! News:
"Three Danish doctors found widely varying levels of unsaturated fatty acid known as 'trans fat' in foods purchased at McDonald's Corp and KFC fast food chains in 20 countries.
Studies show eating 5 grams of the fat per day increases the risk of heart disease by 25 percent.
In the large nuggets and fries meal, the amount of trans fat varied from less than 1 gram in Denmark to more than 10 grams in New York City, according to the research published in this week's
New England Journal of Medicine"
and also:
"In February, McDonald's announced that it had understated the amount of fat and calories in its french fries. It had originally said its large serving of fries had 6 grams of trans fat. The company said the correct number was now 8."
