Fat-free products are not beneficial for the body and can also be very high in calories, said endocrinologist M. Kaloshina.
As the doctor noted, without fats, calcium, protein, and other micro- and macroelements are not absorbed. Additionally, fat-free dairy products often contain sugar, starch, and thickeners, which significantly increases their calorie content.
Moreover, fat-free food does not provide a feeling of satiety.
The doctor recommended preferring products with a medium fat content of 3.5%.
