High fat foods are unhealthy

Many people still avoid eating foods that are high in fat and adhere to low-fat diets in the belief that doing so will improve their overall health, even though this old and wrong theory is slowly being invalidated.

Fat in the diet is necessary for good health. Additionally, low-fat diets may raise insulin resistance and triglyceride levels, which are known risk factors for heart disease, as well as the risk of health issues including metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, studies have shown that diets higher in fat are equally as effective at promoting weight reduction as diets lower in fat. But keep in mind that extremes in either way, such as a very low-fat or extremely high-fat diet, might be harmful to your health, particularly if the quality of your food is poor.
