[QUOTE="Vince, post: 20281, member: 843"] Fat is back.

Any such restriction is said to be not only useless for improving health, but actually harmful to the public health. “I think it is crucial for all government agencies to formally state that there is no upper limit on fat,” says one of these top researchers to CNN.
