Game-Changers 2015: Rethinking Fat Not so bad anymore

A major step toward ending the government's "ban" on total dietary fat and data supporting supporting a new approach to fat, was the "game changer" in the field for 2015, according to diet and nutrition experts contacted by MedPage Today. In it's January 2015 report, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAC) scientific panel "for the first time, and based on strong scientific evidence ... abandoned any explicit ceiling on total fat intake, focusing instead on the type of fats," said Meir Stampfer, MD, DrPH, of Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health. http://www.medpagetoday.com/PrimaryCare/DietNutrition/55504?xid=nl_mpt_DHE_2016-01-05&eun=g721819d0r
