Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Diet debate: Low-fat or high-fat - does it matter?
Which type of yogurt, milk, or ice cream do you usually eat, non-fat,
low-fat or full-fat?
If you look at the store shelves, there isn’t much difference among
them as to how much shelf space each type of product is allocated. People may
be well divided as to how they perceive fat to their health or diet.
Is fat that bad for health? Not quite so as long as it is taken
moderately and in balance. In fact, fat makes food taste more palatable than
without. If fat is removed from food, substitute ingredients like sugar is
added to compensate the loss of taste. In some cases, calories of such substitutes,
for example sugar, exceeds the calories of the removed fat.
It doesn’t sound so nutritious, does it? People’s physiological balance
has evolved based on the food intake in the region or culture over the course
of many years and generations. Removing certain element of natural food or
replacing it with something artificial may not be so nutritious.
Enjoy reading and learning what fat does to you.
