German term or phrase: Fett ist nicht gleich Fett
Fett ist nicht gleich Fett
Wer auf eine fettarme Ernährung achtet, muss oft auf Geschmack verzichten, da Fett ein Geschmackverstärker ist. Aber Fett als solches ist nicht grundsätzlich schlecht – Fett übernimmt im Körper wichtige Funktionen

Achten Sie bei der Wahl Ihrer Lebensmittel auf den Fettgehalt. Pflanzliche Fette sind tierischen vorzuziehen. Ungesättigte Fettsäuren „schaden“ deutlich weniger als gesättigte. Somit ist Fett nicht gleich Fett!
