A heart with a stethoscope on it.

Despite being vilified for many years, dietary fats are one of the 3 main nutrients that your body needs to function properly.  Their numerous health benefits include controlling blood levels of cholesterol and glucose, preventing the development of cancer, reducing your heart disease risk and supporting your vital organs (including your brain, your heart, your liver and your lungs).  However, due to the popularity of low fat diets and the untrue assertion that dietary fat is automatically stored as body fat, many people choose to eliminate this macronutrient from their diet.  Doing this can … [Read more...]
