Why you should stop buying fat free and low fat products

“The fat free diet”
Heavily pushed by marketing and fitness influencers. While saturated fats are being cut from daily consumption, highly valuable unsaturated essential fatty acids are also being eliminated.

Essential for a reason.
Since humans can’t produce essential fatty acids (EFAs), they rely entirely on diet and supplementation. A deficiency in EFAs contributes to a range of issues, including weakened immune systems, a compromised cell membrane, eczema, and various skin conditions. Essential fatty acids are AS important as the ceramides they contribute to creating.

More susceptible groups.
Menopausal women are particularly vulnerable as they often experience weight gain during this phase of life, leading them to adopt fat-free diets. However, this approach can accelerate aging and exacerbate menopausal symptoms due to the lack of essential fatty acids.

From a nutritional aspect.
Low in fat means the natural fat has been replaced with something cheaper, like an artificial sweetener.
