London – The World Health Organization is taking on the battle of the bulge, saying that saturated fats shouldn’t make up more than 10 percent of people’s diet.

In its first draft guidelines on fat intake, the U.N. health agency said that to avoid piling on the pounds, both adults and children should ensure that no more than 10 percent of their calories come from saturated fat, found in foods including butter, milk, meat, eggs and chocolate.
WHO said only 1 percent or less of calories should be from transfats, commonly found in baked and fried foods, processed foods and cooking oils.
WHO’s draft advice largely matches similar nutritional guidelines in Britain and the U.S. The agency says it will consider external comments before the recommendations are finalized.
They have been saying for over twenty years to cut down fat and all that happens is people get fatter. Why? Because when you cut fat you substitute it with carbs. Too many carbs make people fat. Carbs are hard to watch because the more you eat them the more you want. So to lose fat you must eat fat. Fat fills you up and you eat less. Then you lose weight. But you won’t hear this from them because it’s taboo.

Heart disease and fat is a myth. Fat consumption is going down yet heart disease is on the rise. As long as one sticks to healthy fats, not vegetable oils, there is no issue. While yes gram for gram there are more calories in fat, over the course of the day you will have less calories on a high fat diet because they’re more filling than carbs.
