Question

Can someone tell me, scientifically, why consuming only fat-free foods is a bad idea? I need to get this through to a friend, and simply saying, "Fat is our main source of energy," doesn't seem to work. Thank you!!

Answer 1

The Truth: Fat-free foods can be full of chemicals and may contain almost as many calories as their full-fat counterparts.

Answer 2

Actually for most people carbohydrates are the main source of energy.

Think about olive oil or avocados they have healthy fats which we need to maintain our health

Answer 3

When food manufacturer cut the fat, they often replace it with extra sugar to make the food more palatable (pleasant to taste), particularly in low-fat cookies and baked goods. They also may add thickening agents to mimic the texture of fats.
