Fat Helps with Nutrient Absorption

A study from 2004 shows that eating some fat with salads actually increases vitamin absorption, while eating vegetables without any fat reduces absorption rates of nutrients.

I've suspected this for years from trial and error because of my diet changes. If I eat a very low fat diet, I get edgy and my fibromyalgia returns, so I thought this was because I just wasn't getting enough nutrition from low fat diets.

I've been trying to lose weight lately, but I'd rather be a little overweight than in constant pain. So anyway now I'm trying to cut out high glycemic foods and any empty calories foods instead of fat. So far that seems to be working better for me than eating low fat.
