Dr. Scherwitz recalls the high-fat meals that can increase a woman's risk for heart disease.

Dr. Scherwitz:
There are many examples of high-fat meals. We typically think of them as a double cheeseburger with fries, however it can be more insidious, for example going to a Fresh Choice, or some place like that, and having a high-fat salad dressing, the humus, a soup that has lots of fat in it, and you think you are eating healthily but you don’t know because it’s hidden. So you have to be sort of a detective to find out what goes into the food you eat if you are concerned about fat and cholesterol intake.
