For decades now we have been told to lower our saturated fat or we risk life and limb. The call has seen the rise of not only extensive educational campaigns in the name of our health, but a multi-billion dollar industry built around low-fat/fat-free/reduce-fat products and weight loss strategies that employ such products to meet the goals of weight loss seekers.

Well in fact this is not the case. Yes, sugar contributes to overweightness, but it doesn’t turn to fat and doesn’t contribute significantly to body fat stores.
