Why do we always talk about Fat?
It seems that discussion of fat is always
around us and media reports new findings about fat almost every
day. Have we ever seriously thought about fat and wondered why
fat is so "popular"?
Fat is associated with:
 weight
management
heart disease
certain cancers such as breast,
prostate and colon cancer
Fat is also essential because:
it
provides essential fatty acids which our body cannot make
it is needed to aid absorption
of fat-soluble vitamins including Vit A, D, E and K.
Improving your eating habits does not mean that you have to eliminate your favorite foods. To cut back on the amount of fat, choose foods with less fat and prepare meals with little or not added oil. Include a variety of foods and follow the Healthy Eating Guidelines.
Remember, moderation is the key!
