 Warning from the expert: Fat-free diet not sound and convenient!


The consumption of fat (oil) having substantially important position in the nutritional system left its place to alternative nutrition(s) together with rising oil prices especially in recent days. The Academic Member, Dr. Ayşe Huri Özkarabulut, who is Head of the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics of the Istanbul Gelisim University, said ‘’It is necessary for us to consume fat (oil), even if just a bit, in order to take the vitamins melting in oil into our body. In this respect, we can raise the consumption of fish as an alternative to the vegetable oils and meet a part of our fat/oil requirement with oilseeds. At the same time, the fat requirement of the body may be met with 10-15 hazelnuts, raw almonds or 5-6 walnuts that we may consume on daily basis.’’
