"Low fat " leads to big portions.

Australasian Business Intelligence, December, 2006

Dec 19, 2006 (Food Week - ABIX via COMTEX) -- An increase in the number of low-fat food products may not necessarily lead to a reduction in obesity. According to research conducted by Cornell University in the US, many consumers appear to think that eating low-fat foods will not lead to any weight gain, and therefore eat much more of a product than they would if it was the normal version. Cornell University found that people who were already obese were the most likely to eat in such a fashion. The research indicates that promoting the need to regulate portion size is just as important as promoting low fat foods.
