Edwards faces tall order for title

Carl Edwards won his seventh race of the season at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday, but points leader Jimmie Johnson increased his lead in his quest for a third consecutive Nascar championship. Johnson roared from 11th place to second in the final eight laps of the event to boost his points lead to 183 over Edwards with three races remaining. "We just fought, fought and fought to get back," Johnson said. "So I am leaving here very happy. It's almost like a win today."

Johnson had dropped as low as 30th when he received a penalty for speeding on pit road. Edwards, who had been fourth in the points race before this race win, did a back flip in the pitlane after his victory, but his mood changed after learning of Johnson's late-race surge. He said: "I could have done without that. Jimmie is an awesome competitor." Denny Hamlin finished third, followed by Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch.

'The worst thing you can eat'

Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.

Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines:

Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.

Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.

Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.

Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.

Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
