Low-fat diets – do they work?
From Cheryl Koch
In early February, many of us heard about the results of new research on the effects of low-fat dieting.
Why was this information so widely publicized?
Because the 8-year study showed some unexpected results. For more than a decade doctors, dietitians, and others have been promoting the benefits of a low-fat diet to control disease and assist with weight control. The study of almost 50,000 postmenopausal women found that restricting dietary fats may not have the benefits we once thought.
Why was I only mildly surprised?!!!
