Deep dives
The Myth of Low-Fat Diets
Low-fat diets, once lauded as a healthy choice, have been shown to contribute to poor health outcomes. The historical promotion of low-fat foods stemmed from a misinterpretation of dietary fat's role in heart disease, exemplified by the influential Seven Countries Study. Despite its popularity, this diet often replaced fats with sugars, leading to increased calorie consumption without nutritional benefits. The realization that fats are not the enemy, but rather the excessive intake of sugars and processed carbohydrates, highlights the flaws in past dietary guidelines.
