Quality fat is good for you! Wait, what? For the last few decades we’ve all heard about how we need to cut all of the fat out of our diets. So we began loading up on low-fat yogurt, milk… pretty much low-fat everything. Once fat was removed sugar, salt, and/or MSG was used in its place to make the food actually taste good.
And what happened? Obesity rates rose, and kept rising. Incidents of diabetes rose steadily over time. Clearly, avoiding fats was not the way to get and stay healthy. In fact, we should be doing the opposite: Embracing fats, with the most unfiltered among them taking special precedent.
