How much fat could one harmless sandwich contain? A lot more than you think, actually! A new research says that a single scrumptious cheese sandwich can contain almost 15g of saturated fat -equal to five pieces of deep fried chicken!
Dietician Sian Porter found cheddar and pickle sarnie from sandwich chain Eat contained 14.6g of saturated fat.

The word 'Cholesterol' rings danger bells as soon as it is mentioned. This important chemical is important for the normal metabolism of the body and is dangerous only if present in excess.

The recommended daily limit for women is 20g, and 30g for men.
"We don't realize how much saturated fat a cheese sandwich can contain," The Sun quoted Porter, as saying.
Saturated fat affects cholesterol, which can cause heart disease.
Jim Winship of the British Sandwich Association said: "It's ludicrous. Other foods have much higher fat levels."
