Eating Fat Makes You Fat & Fat Fiction
Listen
Note 1
The government’s actions were rooted in fat-phobia that is not based in solid science.
Note 2
American Medical Association: “The anti-fat, anti-cholesterol fad is not just foolish and futile . . . it also carries some risk.”
Note 3
Harvard Medical School: “Few public health messages are as powerful and as persistent as this one: Fat is bad. . . . The average American has substantially reduced the percentage of calories that she or he gets from fat over the past three decades. . . . But we are not any healthier for all of this effort. In fact, we are worse off for it.”

Step 4 of 6
Quiz
Remember these? Give them one more try now that you’ve spent a few minutes going SANE.
Q1
Eating fat can make you fat.
True
Correct! Eating too much of anything can make people gain fat. The question is what foods cause people overeat. Whole food fats eaten within a SANE lifestyle do not cause over eating. inSANE starches and sweets encourage overeating due to their low Satiety.
False
Try again.
True
Try again.
False
Correct! Starch and sugar are more Aggressive (bad) and less Satiating (bad)…aka less SANE…than whole food fats. By triggering more fat-storing hormones and requiring more calories to fill us up, starch and sugar are more likely than whole food fats to make people fat.
Q3
$700 million of scientific research has not proved that eating a less fat and more starch and sugar diet helps burn fat and boost health.
True
Try again.
False
Correct! Over $1 billion of scientific research has failed to prove that eating less fat and more starch and sugar does anything good. In fact, much of this research shows that replacing SANE whole food fats with inSANE sugar and starch makes people fat and sick.
Step 5 of 6
