Fat is good for you

Yet another article saying that what was considered bad is really good sometimes. In case you don't subscribe to the WSJ (I don't), the article outlines a study showing that the body absorbs more nutrients from fruits and vegetables when some soluble fats are present. So now, some fat is good. I think I've seen this newsy-flip-flop happen with eggs, salt, meat, carbohydrates and just about every other food. The problem in my view is rarely the science. It's the way it's presented by non-scientific writers in the media, including the author of the WSJ article today.

Try looking here for better information about fats in your diet. Net - all things in moderation, including ice cream.
