Great Debate: Low Fat Vs. Good Fat

Great Debate: Low Fat Vs. Good FatPosted by Kerry Trueman on March 28, 2006 - 10:47am.

You gotta have fat, on that we all agree. Our bodies need a certain amount of fat in order to function properly. But how much? And what kind? That's where the consensus breaks down.

Studies that focus on the benefits of low fat versus high fat diets are outdated, because we now know that there are good fats and bad. But the perplexed layperson (i.e., me) has a hard time getting a straight answer when it comes to how much fat is really good for us, and which fats are the most beneficial.
