13) Dairy products are fattening & unhealthy
Fact:
Dairy products have many nutrients that your body needs. They have calcium to help children to grow strong bones and to keep adult bones strong and healthy. They also have vitamin D to help your body use calcium and protein to build muscles and to keep organ work properly.
Low-fat and non fat dairy products are as nutritious as whole milk dairy products, but they are lower in fat and calories. Choose low fat or non-fat milk, cheese, yogurt (frozen or regular), and reduced-fat ice cream.
For people who can’t digest lactose (a type of sugar found in milk or other dairy products), lactose-free dairy products can be used. These are also good sources of protein and calcium. If you are sensitive to some dairy food, you may still able to eat others like yogurt, hard cheese, and evaporated skim milk and butter milk. Other good sources of calcium are dark leafy vegetables (like spinach), calcium fortified juice, bread, and soy products (like tofu) and canned fish with soft bones (like salmon).
Many people are worried about eating butter and margarine. Eating a lot of food high in saturated fat (like butter) has been linked to high blood cholesterol levels and greater risk of heart disease. Some research suggests that high amounts of “trans fat” can also cause high blood cholesterol level. Trans fat is found in margarine, crackers, cookies and other snack foods made with hydrogenated vegetable shortening or oil. Trans fat is formed when vegetables oils are harden to become margarine or shortening, a process called hydrogenation. More research is needed to find out the effect of trans fat in the food. Carbohydrate and protein have about four calories per gram and fat has more than twice that amount (9 calories per gram).
14) Low fat or no fat means no calories
Fact:
Remember that most fruits and vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories. Other low fat or non fat foods may still have a lot of calories, often these foods will have extra sugars, flour or starch thickeners to make them taste better. These ingredients can add calories, which can lead to weight gain.
A low fat or non fat food is usually lower in calories than the same size portion of the full fat product. The number of calories depends on the amount of carbohydrate, protein, and fat in the food. Carbohydrate and protein have about four calories per gram and fat has more than twice that amount (9 calories per gram).
