The biggest nutritional villains of all are trans fat and saturated fat. Both activate a gene that causes destructive inflammation in your arteries. Try to stick to under 20 grams a day of trans fat and saturated fat combined. An average croissant has around 32 grams. A four-ounce slice of roast pork tenderloin has about four grams.
