ARE you confused about what to eat if you want to be healthy? It’s little wonder – nutrition science is constantly advancing and so the nutritional landscape is in a state of flux.
Here’s a look at the latest research. We ask health experts to help make sense of the hype and also give tips on top pantry tweaks you need to make today.
OLD FOOD RULE
Eat low-fat dairy to reduce saturated fat intake.
NEW FOOD RULE
Full-fat dairy is healthier, but eat less of it.
Experts are leaning back towards natural, full-fat dairy for optimal health as opposed to the low-fat milk, yoghurt and even cheese we were told to eat to avoid taking in too much saturated fat.
But saturated fat isn’t necessarily the bad guy, as studies have shown. Findings from a 16-year study by the Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Australia suggest that full-fat dairy might actually protect against heart disease or stroke.
“Fat is a great component of taste,” says Australian nutritionist Julie Maree Wood, author of The Complete Food Makeover.
“And when it’s taken out of dairy, especially yoghurt, it has to be replaced with sugar or worse, artificial sweeteners. And you’re better off eating a little bit of fat than either of those two.”
But it’s not an excuse to drink lots of full-fat milk or eat blocks of cheese. Everything in moderation, says Australian cardiologist Dr Ross Walker.
OLD FOOD RULE
Avoid butter and use margarine instead.
NEW FOOD RULE
Butter is better for you.
