	Choose a diet low in fat...
		Fats supply energy and essential fatty acids and promote absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Most people are aware that high levels of saturated fat and cholesterol in the diet are linked to increased blood cholesterol levels and a greater risk for heart disease.
		More Americans are now eating less fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol-rich foods than in the recent past, and fewer people are dying from the most common form of heart disease.
		The fats in most fish are low in saturated fatty acids and contain a certain type of polyunsaturated fatty acid (omega-3) that is under study because of a possible association with a decreased risk for heart disease in certain people.

	Low-fat Diet Myth
		Fat is a major component of cell membranes, the brain is 70 per cent fat, and changing fat ratios could affect all sorts of processes, from immune responses to hormone levels.
		Intriguingly, however, since high fat is supposed directly to affect cholesterol, the cholesterol levels in the blood of the two groups were very similar.
		One reason for the survival of low fat as a recommended diet, which really only seems relevant to people at risk of a heart attack due to high cholesterol, is the difficulty of giving general dietary advice.

	Get Healthy : Low Fat : The Pros and Cons of a Low Fat Diet : Food Network
		Since the total amount of fat that you eat is a combination of both artery-clogging saturated fat and heart-healthy unsaturated fat, reducing the amount of fat in your diet to between 20 to no more than 35 percent of your calories will help you harness your saturated fat intake.
		Jelly beans, soda, fat free ice cream, cookies and pretzels are all low in fat but they aren’t low in calories, especially if you eat them without regard to portion sizes.
		For some sedentary, overweight individuals, a diet that is low in fat and high in carbohydrates can cause an increase of triglycerides (fat) in the blood, a decrease of the "good" HDL cholesterol, and an adverse change in the size of the "bad" LDL cholesterol.

	frontline: diet wars: the fattening: did the low-fat era make us fat? \| PBS
		The idea was to reduce saturated fat, but the assumption was that it was too complicated to explain all that, and that if people just reduced their fat content, the fat content of their diet, they would be improving it.
		The problem is that people get in good-bad ways of thinking: that all fat is good, all fat is bad; all carbs are good, all carbs is bad, when in fact there are good carbs and bad carbs, there's good fat and bad fat, and there's good protein and bad protein.
		So the goal is not to say, fat is good, carbs or bad, but to say there are good fats and bad fats, there are good carbs and bad carbs, there's good protein and bad protein, and so an optimal diet would be low in the bad carbs but high in good carbs.

	[No title]
		Both diets were low in total and saturated fats, however one diet was low in vegetables and the other was high in vegetables, berries and fruit.
		Now, in a small study of women, a diet low in fat and high in fruits and vegetables caused an increase in the plasma levels of oxidized LDL cholesterol, the "bad" cholesterol.
		Lower fat diets may be beneficial and may work for some, especially those with carbohydrate metabolic types, but all of us need some beneficial fats in our diet in order to stay healthy.

	Turtle Mountain - Low Fat vs. Low Carb
		Low fat diets limit the intake of fat decreasing the amount of fat that will end up being stored in the body.
		One of the bigger complaints about the traditional low fat diet is that the recommended calories do not satiate a person’s appetite, leading a person to consume far more total calories than the recommended daily amount (ever heard of people eating a whole box of low-fat cookies in one sitting?).
		One additional proposed benefit behind the success of the low carbohydrate diet is that because higher-fat foods are allowed, a person becomes satiated faster and thus consumes less overall calories than the person on the low fat diet.

	Learning About Fats
		Saturated fats are also in palm and coconut oils, which are often used in commercial baked goods (the kind you buy at the store).
		Trans fats are also found in certain foods that you buy at the store or in a restaurant, such as snack foods, baked goods, and fried foods.
		So fat is not the enemy, but you'll want to choose the right amount - and the right kind - of fat.

		Cutting back on the amount of total fat in the diet and replacing it with carbs would seem to be a great way to lose weight.
		Fat, in its saturated form, can also raise cholesterol in the blood, which increases your risk for heart disease.

	Bestselling author Michael Fumento reports: "Busting the Low-Fat Dieting Myth."
		Fat, these days, seems to be nothing but a villain.
		The history of blaming dietary fat for bodily fat goes back to the turn of the century, when it was wrongly hypothesized that dietary fat passed unchanged through the digestive tract directly to become body fat.
		Many of the new foods engineered to be low fat or fat free have as many or almost as many calories as they replace.

	Beware the Low Fat Diet
		Fat calories slow the flood of carbohydrates into the blood, which helps to eliminate "sugar highs" as well as the corresponding crash after the glucose is burned off.
		Fats have been nearly eliminated in most processed foods these days, and the fats that are included are unhealthy types of fats like trans-fats and most vegetable oils.
		Low inducers are best, however, high inducers can be eaten if a fat is also eaten at the same time since the fat binds to the carbohydrates and slows absorption.

	ACS :: Studies Find Little Cancer Benefit in Low-Fat Diet for Older Women
		About 40% of the women were assigned to follow a diet that got 20% of calories from fat and had at least 5 daily servings of fruits and vegetables and 6 daily servings of grains.
		On average, women on the diet were getting about 24% of their calories from fat in the first year, while women who weren't dieting got about 35% of their calories from fat.
		For instance, the drop in risk was greater -- around 15% -- for women who made the biggest change in their fat intake and for those who stuck most closely to the diet plan, he said.

	Low carb, low fat diets pose same heart risk-Health / Science-NEWS-The Times of India (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Indeed the rate of heart disease among women who follow a low carbohydrate diet is no higher than it is among women who eat foods that are low in fat and high in carbohydrates, researchers at Harvard School of Public Health found.
		Some previous studies have shown that the Atkins diet, which is low in carbohydrates and high in fat and protein, increased the risk of heart disease.
		The reason that vegetable sources of protein and fat are so beneficial, he said, is that those foods produce a gradual increase in the blood sugar, not the rapid spikes generated by low-fat foods that are high in high in sugar.

	Low Carb Nexus - Article - What if It's All Been a Big Fat Lie?!
		Until the late 1970s, the accepted wisdom was that fat and protein protected against overeating by making you sated, and carbohydrates made you fat.
		Fat was replaced with sugar or high-fructose corn syrup to replace lost flavor.
		A crucial example of how the low-fat recommendations were oversimplified is that eating a low fat, high-carbohydrate diet would, for many people, raise their triglyceride levels and lower their H.D.L. levels.

		The Women's Health Initiative Dietary Modification Trial was started back in 1993, at a time when dietary fat was seen as a dietary evil and the low-fat diet was thought to be a straightforward route to preventing heart disease, some cancers, and the epidemic of obesity that was beginning to sweep the country.
		Their goal was to lower their fat intake from almost 38% of calories to 20%.

		The amount of fat in the diet has a very important role in how all of the fats are digested and metabolized.
		Foods that are low in cholesterol can be very high in saturated fats, and therefore the label of "No Cholesterol" does not mean the food is OK.
		However, a class of fats called "trans-fatty acids" are created which are suspected of reducing HDL cholesterol and raising LDL cholesterol, as well as other negative things.
