A video posted to Facebook and Instagram from a personal fitness account makes claims about cholesterol and diet that are misleading. The post claims dietary cholesterol does not affect bodily cholesterol and that carbohydrates and low fat foods are the cause of problems with cholesterol levels. But cholesterol in food does have an effect on the level in the body, and for some people this effect is very pronounced. The implication that carbohydrate is mainly responsible for raised cholesterol levels […]
Finding lower-fat menu items at fast-food restaurants isn’t an easy feat. Most fast food choices are laden with fat, especially saturated fat, which has been linked to a higher risk of heart disease.

As it turns out, many frozen meals are terrible for your body due to a staggering amount of additives and calories. All of this can lead to a range of health complications, including […]
Are you going to automatically get fat from eating fat? No. There isn’t a single nutrient that will inherently make you fat when you eat them in reasonable amounts, and not in excess. In the 1950s, the “saturated fat causes heart disease” hypothesis was born. This stirred up lots of fear about saturated fat that still exists even to this day, yet now we understand that there are more factors to the role saturated fat plays in our diet. From […]
