Fats have a PR problem.
In part, it’s because fats are so calorically dense. For every gram of fat, we get nine calories of energy; carbs and proteins both only yield four each for the same amount. If you’re trying to lose weight, fats aren’t your friend. But they also come with potential health risks; fats—especially the ones that come from meat—have long been thought to be the cause of heart disease.
Recently, scientists from the US and UK took a new look at existing data and came to the conclusion that maybe, we’ve actually been wrong about the facts of fats.
