Low-fat diet lead to less of healthy food like meat, eggs. So that it is lack of nutrient in diet.

Misinformation-2:
Not all fat is bad, there are low quality fats and high quality fat. Low quality fat such as saturated fats. High quality fat usually exist in salmon, walnuts and flax seeds.

Misinformation-3: Processed Low-Fat food are healthy options

Because of the ridiculous low-fat advice, food manufacturers removed the fat from some of their foods. But there was a major problem... natural foods taste terrible without the fat.

If a food has "low fat"or "diet" on the label, then you will probably find sugar, corn syrup and various artificial chemicals on the ingredients list.

However, sales of these foods have skyrocketed because many nutrition professionals still advise people to eat them... even though the "normal fat" alternatives are much healthier!
