When it comes to achieving fat loss goals, it’s crucial to recognize the significant role that diet plays. While exercise certainly contributes to overall health and fitness, research consistently demonstrates that diet has a more substantial impact on fat loss than exercise alone.

Spicy food lovers know that milk can ease the oral burn, but the reason behind why that happens hasn’t always been clear? Some people believe that fat is the soother, with whole cow’s milk reducing the bite more than low-fat cow’s milk or plant-based alternatives. However, a new study conducted by Penn State food scientists suggests that protein plays a role in cooling the heat sensation, too. Full-fat milk is not more effective than fat-free milk in cooling the burning […]

GENEVA — The World Health Organization says great progress has been made in the global elimination of industrially produced trans fat, with nearly half the world’s population protected against the harmful effects of this toxic product. “Five years ago, WHO called on countries and the food sector to eliminate industrially produced trans fats from the food supply. The response has been incredible,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Monday. “So far, 53 countries have implemented best practice policies, including bans […]
Meringue is typically slotted into dessert category, but it doesn’t have to be. Considering the short list of ingredients—egg whites and a touch of acid—it’s clear there’s nothing innately sweet, aat least until you add a pile of sugar. So don’t. Meringue can form the basis of a light and crunchy snack or serve as a meal component that’s full-on savory. As meringue is primarily composed of egg whites, you can easily omit the sugar, which isn’t necessary for whipping […]

While other studies have examined the effects of a high-fat diet, this one is unusual in its scope. UCR researchers fed mice three different diets over the course of 24 weeks where at least 40 percent of the calories came from […]
But the source of the fats you choose — and the rest of what you typically eat — make a big difference. For the last half of the 20th century, most major health organizations, including the American Heart Association, recommended a low-fat diet. Yes, they did, but the message has changed dramatically.
