When the low-fat guidelines first came out, the food manufacturers responded with all sorts of low-fat “health foods.”
The problem is… these foods taste horrible when the fat is removed, so the food manufacturers added a whole bunch of sugar instead.
The truth is, excess sugar is incredibly harmful, while the fat naturally present in food is not (55, 56).
Bottom Line: Processed low-fat foods tend to be very high in sugar, which is very unhealthy compared to the fat that is naturally present in foods.
