Fats

Fats are a huge controversy in our culture today.

In our stores, the shelves are inundated with low-fat, no-fat alternatives – yet people battle more than ever with weight gain. Why? Read labels. Regular sour cream for example contains about 3 ingredients, all of which are natural. Low fat has about 12-15 ingredients. No fat can have more than 20!

Low fat foods contain more sugar than the regular version. They add extra sugar to replace the good taste that fat offers. The problem is that eating excess carbohydrates, especially the wrong kinds, stimulates the body’s fat storage.
