Summary

Fat has long been treated as the supervillain of the dinner table, but the reality is more complex. Yes, some types of fat can cause serious health problems, but other types of fat are a big part of a healthy diet. This book takes a look at the benefits of the fats we need, as well as the consequences of the ones we don't.The media is full of advice about what foods to eat and what to avoid. Unfortunately, the advice is constantly changing and often contradictory. Know Your Food explains the real story about what's on your plate
