For years we have been told that we should cut down on the amount of fat we eat, inspiring many people to adopt low-fat diets.Now it seems the story is changing, with a report saying that such eating patterns are having “disastrous health consequences”.
The National Obesity Forum and the Public Health Collaboration have called for a “major overhaul” of dietary guidelines, accusing major public health bodies of colluding with the food industry.
Their report pushes for a return to “whole foods” such as dairy, fish and meat, as well as high fat healthy foods such as avocados, saying that “eating fat does not make you fat”.
