low-fat

If you are feeding your toddler or young child reduced-fat milk to avoid obesity, you are not alone. Both the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics have given this idea thumbs up for the past 50 years, recommending kids start on skim milk by the age of two at the latest.

Does eating fat really make you fat? Is butter bad for you? Store shelves are still loaded with low-fat and-fat free products, so it seems that many people are on board with this notion. But recent evidence is showing that we’ve been told a big fat lie, and that eating fat does not cause weight gain or disease anymore than eating chicken can turn you into a bird.
