Not so Fast!
To lose fat, eat less fat right? Wrong. What? The picture on the left from UCSF professor Dr. Lustig, shows how the percentage of calories from fat has decreased over time, and yet our obesity rate has not decreased, but gone steadily upward. Granted, this graphic does not address total caloric intake increasing over time, but it begs the question " Could fat have been wrongly accused all this time?"
An NY Times article that just happened to come out yesterday touches on this subject.
