Low Fat Diets Are Bad For Us-Experts

2^min

Cutting back on butter, cream, cheese and other fatty foods is powering the obesity epidemic with catastrophic consequences for health, experts have warned.

In a damning report that blames major public health bodies of plotting with the food industry, the National Obesity Forum and the Public Health Collaboration said most of what we are told about healthy eating is incorrect.

The report's authors say the epidemic's roots lie in the modern-day obsession with low-fat diets, while snacking between meals is making people fat.

And their highly controversial report - which has been criticized by many other experts for being 'irresponsible' - cites studies which show a higher-fat, lower-carb diet to be superior.

It states: 'Eating a diet rich in full-fat dairy – such as cheese, milk and yoghurt – can actually lower the chance of obesity.

'The most natural and nutritious foods available – meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, nuts, seeds, olives, avocados – all contain saturated fat.'
