HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Probably not. Unfortunately, foods labeled fat-free, reduced fat, low-fat or sugar-free don’t equate with calorie-free-and they often contain additives like salt, sugar and chemical fillers that make them less-than healthy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Among the health problems associated with a lack of fatty acids, we can count: dry skin, eczema, low energy, impairment of kidney function, slow wound or infection healing, vision and learning problems, depression, even miscarriage. A low-fat diet is also associated with a higher suicide rate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eating whatever you want while staying within your recommended daily calories will keep you from gaining weight, but it won’t necessarily provide you with sufficient amounts of the essential nutrients for good health. Both how much you eat and what you eat are important for staying healthy as you get older.

Detailed explanation-4: -Key Takeaways: 1. Always read the label first. Don’t assume just because a food product is labeled “fat-free” or similar, that it’s healthier; the perceived healthier item could be higher in sugar and calories.
