How are foods made "fat-free?"?!
If a food has x amount of fat in it, then how do companies produce a different version of it that has reduced fat or no fat!? Always wanted to know that!. And if it's possible to reduce the fat in a food, then why do companies continue to have the fatty version still available!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Well, it depends on the food!.
Take margarine for example!. The full fat version has lots of flavor, spreads easily, and works almost as well as butter in most cooking scenarios!. The lower fat version uses skim milk, which just means it has less milkfat, and fewer calories, maybe 1/3 less!. The fat free version of margarine has the artificial flavor of butter, but is made with gelatin!. The texture is much different, and although it spreads on toast easily, it turns into butter flavored water when cooking, which doesn't work in most cases!.
Often, lower fat versions are almost as good as the full fat versions, and depending on what you are using it for, you can save a lot of unnecessary calories if you can get used to the taste!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I guess they make it with healthier ingredients or fat substitutes like Olestra (which is really bad for you)
And companies keep the full-fat versions because they taste better! :DWww@FoodAQ@Com
