The fat has long been sucked out of our food in the name of health. Rani Sheen weighs the newest thinking on good fat.
Imagine a world where you got to the front of the coffee shop line
and didn’t feel compelled to say the word “skinny” before the word
“latte.” Or where, facing down the legions of yogurt options at the
grocery store, your hand bypassed the zero per cent Greek yogurt,
landing instead on the full-fat version. The idea that fat is bad for us
has become so all-pervasive that it is now fixed firmly in our minds
that full-fat dairy, bacon or even a hefty serving of avocado are flabby
demons waiting to send chub to our waists and clog our arteries. But a
growing school of thought is suggesting that actually, it isn’t fat that
makes us fat.
