Why Your Low-Fat Diet May Make You Depressed

Description

If you were raised in the heyday of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter or Snackwell’s fat-free cookies, your taste buds are probably quite thrilled that fat isn’t nearly as taboo as it used to be. But even though you know that certain fats are good for you, you’re not alone if choosing the full-fat option gives you pause. In today’s episode, we dug into why we need fat for our physical and mental health, which fats are best, and how much you really need.
