Moderation is the key to better health

Re: “Major dietary study makes the case for fat” (NP Montreal, Aug. 30)

The article regarding a large Canadian study showed a diet that contains a moderate amount of fat is linked to a reduced risk of premature death compared to a low-fat diet.

The last quote, attributed to the director of the Population Health Research Institute of McMaster University, makes the most sense: “Moderation in most aspects of diet is to be preferred, as opposed to very low or very high intakes of most nutrients.” Franceen Goodman Finesilver, R.N., Côte-St-Luc
