Is Fat Good or Bad? Asking the Wrong Question

Share your thoughts

Low-fat aisles, olive-oil halos and the organ we forgot we had — why fat was never the villain, never the hero, and what the evidence says to put on your plate.

For twenty years fat was nutrition's number one villain. Now olive oil, nuts and avocado are heroes. Same nutrient, opposite reputation — which suggests we've been asking the wrong question. Ashok and Meera look at the fat we carry (an organ that talks to your brain, plus a brown fat that burns energy) and the fat we eat (essential fats, and the vitamins that can't get in without it). Then the evidence: why the low-fat era backfired, what the American Heart Association found, and the PREDIMED trial, where olive oil and nuts beat a low-fat diet for heart health.
