I am being asked questions about whether 'fat free' is healthier than 'full fat'. My answer is that it depends. In a lot of commercial processed foods, the 'fat free' products have increased sugar content to counter balance the taste that is lost, as fat makes food taste that much better, and it makes you feel fuller longer. So the product is not at all healthier. It would have been easier for the fat to be added. However, in milk, the versions of 'skim' and 'lite' are preferred for easier digestion, and perhaps less 'on the hips'. But even if you have full cream milk, all fine in moderation, however, it is still a questionable food (drink) for human consumption. With salad dressing, it is best to go full fat (ie. Olive Oil, Sesame Oil, Macadamia Oil) as the fat better utilises the Vitamin A (Beta Carotene) from the salad for full utilisation in the body. We do need fat in our diets, but it has to be from good fats, such as; Olive Oil, Macadamia Oil, Sesame Oil, Coconut Oil, Avocados, Almonds, Macadamias, Sesame Seeds etc. If you have any questions, please write them in the 'comments' section (just a click).
