More than a month after the deadline for city restaurants to stop preparing food with artificial trans fat, some fast-food chains are still serving French fries with high amounts of it, a nutrition advocacy group said yesterday.
According to the group, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, one large portion of Wendy's French fries contains nearly twice the recommended daily limit of the fat, and four limes more than the company claims.
Burger King French fries also have a high trans fat content, according to a study the group released yester- day, but McDonald' s fries were found to have far less.
"That proves that other restaurants could do the same," said Michael Jacobson, executive director of the advocacy center. "It is not that restaurant French fries could not be made without trans fat."
Dr. Jacobson's group tested French fries bought at five Manhattan locations of each of the three restaurant chains over several days in July.
One large serving of French fries from Wendy's was found to contain an average of 3.7 grams of trans fat. Burger King's fries had 3.3 grams, and the McDonald's fries, 0.2 grams.
All three of these levels represent improvements, Dr. Jacobson said, but added that Wendy's and Burger King could go further still. Technically, the French fries served by fast-food restaurants are not subject to the rule because they arrive at the restaurants partly cooked.
"We can't control that product," said Denny Lynch, senior vice president of Wendy's International. "We buy the product that way."
The dry health department has said that no amount of trans fat is part of a healthful diet. The American Heart Association recommends that people consume less than 2 grams of it each day. Although it occurs naturally in dairy and meat, the most dangerous form. comes from a synthetic process of adding hydrogen to oil, which increases its density and makes it last longer.
Trans fat has been found to increase bad cholesterol, which can lead to heart disease, and lower the kind of cholesterol that helps protect the heart. It can also contribute to diabetes, Dr. Jacobson said.
Wendy's Web site claims that its large fries have a mere gram of trans fat, thanks to a change in cooking oil last summer. Mr. Lynch said he trusted his company's numbers over the center's, noting that Wendy's had tested hundreds of samples. "Ask a scientist if a sample of five is better than a sample of hundreds," he said, dismissing Dr. Jacobson' s group as "the food nannies."
He explained the discrepancy in trans fat content by pointing out that sometimes servers gave out extra fries with an order. He said another possibility was that some of the trans fat on the French fries from the supplier could accumulate in the frying oil at the restaurant.
Dr. Jacobson dismissed those explanations as "hand-waving."
"Three and a half grams is outrageous," he said, "and Wendy's shouldn't be blaming a clerk who might be giving you a few extra French fries."
Customers who were told that Wendy's fries had a high trans fat content were undeterred.
"I'm not surprised," said Tasha Dunn of the Bronx, who was waiting for a takeout order yesterday at a Wendy's at 48th Street and Avenue of the Americas. "Without trans fat, it would taste different."
Of course, it' s not healthful food that people are seeking when they order a burger and fries. "It' s just a craving that I have once in a while," said Angie Cureno, 36, who was eating fries at a McDonald' s on Seventh Avenue with her sister and daughter. She did not seem impressed that McDonald' s had outperformed its competitors in the trans fat tests.
"It's all junk food," she said.

Nevertheless, let's face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, neither pine nor apple in pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweetmeats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don't fang, grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham？ If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth？ One goose, two geese—so one moose, two meese？
If the teacher taught, why isn't it true that the preacher praught？ If a horsehair mat is made from the hair of horses and a camel-hair coat from the hair of camels, from what is a mohair coat made？ If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat？
In what other language do people drive on a parkway and park in a driveway？ Ship by truck and send car- go by ship？ Have noses that nm and feet that smell？ How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites？ How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike？ How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next？
You must be shocked at a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form. by filling it out and in which your alarm clock goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn't really a race at all). That is why, when stars are out they are visible, but when the lights are out they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch I start it, but when I wind up this essay I end it.
