"time to end our fear of fat"

Low-fat movement has failed to prevent obesity epidemic: study


"In a comment carried by the journal, Dariush Mozaffarian of the Massachusetts-based Tufts University Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, argued it was 'time to end our fear of fat'.
'Dietary guidelines should be revised to lay to rest the outdated, arbitrary limits on total fat consumption,' he wrote.
'Calorie-obsessed caveats and warnings about healthier, higher-fat choices such as nuts, phenolic-rich vegetable oils, yoghurt, and even perhaps cheese, should also be dropped.'"
