Canadian And US Dietitians Provide Up-To-Date Guidance On Dietary Fat

Bull.

They provide speculation.

"How much fat should be included in a healthy diet? How can one avoid trans fats? Are omega-three fats good for your heart? These are some of the questions on the minds of consumers when trying to make healthy food choices. Find the most up-to-date and trusted advice on these and other fat and health-related issues in the latest joint position paper - Dietary Fatty Acids - released by Dietitians of Canada (DC) and the American Dietetic Association (ADA). "

The advice is not to be "trusted."

It needs to be scrutinized.

"'It's the joint position of DC and ADA that the body needs fat for many important functions, so including some fat is an important part of a healthy eating pattern. About 20-30 percent of energy needs should come from fat...'"

And what if you only consume 15% of you Calories from fat? Or 10%? Or 35%?

Fact is, they do not know.

Weight loss and weight gain are governed by Calories In and Calories Out and, from a Calorie standpoint, the source is of little importance when it comes to putting on or shedding pounds.

Dietitians, like other experts, are part of the problem, not the solution, for the overwhelming majority.
