Rethinking Dietary Fat

The common belief that fat is detrimental to health is challenged, revealing that fat is actually an essential part of our diet. Evidence suggests that low-fat diets may not be necessary and that historical eating patterns, which included higher fat intake, did not correlate with obesity. Misunderstandings around fat-free and low-fat labels further complicate our relationship with food, indicating that many of these designations may be misleading.
