Myth: Eating Fatty Foods Makes You Fat

Many believe that consuming any fat leads to weight gain and health issues.

Not all fats contribute to weight gain; unsaturated fats in moderation are essential for health. Nutritional science shows that healthy fats can aid in nutrient absorption, energy, and cell function. Studies from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health emphasize the importance of distinguishing between unhealthy and healthy fats.
