This post is not about package labeling. (We'll save that for another post.) It's about eating whole foods instead of partial foods. Recent studies show that people who eat low-fat, reduced-fat and fat-free dairy products (cheese, yogurt, milk, etc.) actually end up eating more to help their bodies balance the fat they are missing when eating these products. Your body knows it is missing the fat that is supposed to be there and will look for other ways to balance itself.
Furthermore, these products have sugars added (that often don't have to be listed in the ingredients) to make up for the fact that the fat is missing. Remember, fat doesn't make you fat. Sugars, preservatives and chemicals all cause inflammation which makes you fat.
Many of us cannot digest dairy properly, but, if you choose to eat dairy, go for the whole milk and full-fat cheese. Enjoy!
