But many processed foods that are low-fat or fat-free could have just <strong>as many calories<\/strong> as the full-fat version of the same food &#8211; sometimes even MORE calories.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is because the process that takes fat out of foods involves adding sugar, flour, starch thickeners, and other carbohydrates to keep the original taste.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When grocery shopping, make sure you read nutrition labels of the regular versus the low-fat versions of the product and compare both their caloric content and their fat content, based on per 100g serving size.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"uppercase\">4.

We don\u2019t eat foods in isolation, so \u2018Healthy\u2019 vs \u2018bad\u2019 foods is a false dichotomy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The anti-sugar narrative has little support and stands NO solid scientific ground&#8230; Sugar\u2019s been part of the human diet for years associated to NO health issues in <strong>moderate amounts<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any food could be \u2018bad\u2019 in different scenarios.
