The dreaded and awful fat (formally called lipids) ...
Unfortunately we have been misinformed about the power of this nutrient in our lives. It is a fact that we suffer more illnesses because of sugar than fat.
Did you know that they are essential for the proper functioning of the brain, hormone production and energy reserves? Many vitamins are dissolved in fat, thus by eliminating them completely you will also miss antioxidants and immune protection.
Be careful of foods that say "fat free" because in most cases the fat is replaced with corn starch, fructose or sugar cane, making the food even more damaging.
Nutritional fact labels describe several types of fat: total, saturated, trans and cholesterol.
In order to find the healthiest option, choose food with less than 20g of fat and less than 20mg cholesterol per serving.
See you next week!
