About this episode
If you were around during the 90's, you probably remember the low-fat and fat-free craze: skim milk, low-fat snacks... and god forbid you ate a plate of eggs. Today, we know a lot more about fat, and that certain types of fat are actually an important part of a healthy diet. So, how do you keep track of which fats you're supposed to eat, and which you're supposed to avoid? On this episode of On Nutrition, we talk with Dr. Kyla Lara-Breitenger to untangle our notions of "good" and "bad" fats, demystify cholesterol, and embrace the tastiness—and healthiness—that fat can bring to our food.
