The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada released a new policy statement on Saturated Fats. Boiling the statement down (pardon the pun):
- Eat fresh food.
- Make your own food.
- Eat things that look like food.
- Eat fewer “highly processed foods”… like “confectionaries, sugary drinks, processed meats, and snack foods.”
We think that’s nice simple digestible (pardon again) advice.
Interestingly, one question is what’s going to happen to the Foundation’s Health Check program as a lot of the Health Check approved foods look highly processed.
