Any serial dieter will tell you to steer clear of the dairy
cabinet. It’s full of saturated fat that will play havoc with heart and
waistline. Opt instead for low-fat processed spreads, skimmed milks and
fat-free cheeses.
Big mistake.
Fat is not the villain we once thought it was. There is no doubt
we have to watch our fat intake, and saturated fat does seem to be linked with
heart disease - but I suspect that it is as much to do with the way that fat is
packaged up as the fat itself.
Consider a bacon butty, with white bread, lashings of butter,
loads of ketchup and salt and washed down with a cup of sugary tea. Then think
of goats cheese, sat atop a pile of salad, whole-grains and avocado, and a
large glass of fresh milk. Both full of saturated fat but one is chock full of
additives, preservatives and sugar and the other full of vitamins and fibre.
