In recent years, many media reports and social media influencers have emphasized the dangers of eating too many carbohydrates. Though a carbohydrate-heavy diet can be harmful, consuming too many fats may cause more health problems, according to a study in mice led by researchers in the Penn State Department of Nutritional Sciences.
In a study published in the February issue of Journal of Nutrition, the researchers analyzed how diets containing different ratios of fats and carbohydrates affected metabolic health and liver function in mice over time. They found, overall, higher fat diets were more harmful than high-carbohydrate diets, but that fiber supplementation might be able to reduce harm in specific conditions.
