77. The low-fat scam.


Don’t be fooled by claims of low fat labels. Obesity expert Dr. David Katz states: “As a population, we cut dietary fat in a rather dysfunctional way, and we grew even fatter.”

Here’s one example: Peanut butter: Calories: 200 vs.190 (low fat) – low fat has 5% fewer calories, Sodium: 85 vs. 285 (low fat) – low fat has 300% more sodium, Sugar: 2 vs.4 (low fat) – low fat has 100% more sugar. When the fat is taken out of a product, typically the sodium and sugar content is much higher and the difference in calories is negligible.
