THE TRUTH ABOUT FAT

Does eating fat really make you fat? Are there good fats and bad fats? And which are which? Unpacking the often-confusing scientific data to answer these questions and more, this fascinating documentary follows a group of health workers as they undergo a series of fat-centric eating trials—including an attempt to investigate the effects of giving up fat altogether. The perhaps expected (but still reassuring) conclusion reveals that moderation is key, and a little bit of fat can be good for us. Grades 7 and up. Closed captioned. Color. 52 minutes. BBC. ©2015.
