I thought that fat had been un-demonised and overtaken by sugars and ultra-processed foods.
Looking in my stock cupboard, the raw fats I do get are probably the best bang for the buck nutritionally.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoSaturated fats are still further in the bad column.
- amanaplanacanal 3y agoNah. Latest research has given them a reprieve. It was a bad rap.
- tpush 3y agoNo, this is not true at all.
