常見錯誤

❌I bought low-fat milk that has zero fat.
✅I bought non-fat milk that has zero fat.
💡'low-fat' means reduced fat, not zero fat; use 'non-fat' when no fat is present.
❌This non-fat cheese has only 2 grams of fat per serving.
✅This low-fat cheese has only 2 grams of fat per serving.
💡'non-fat' products must contain no fat; if there is any fat, use 'low-fat' instead.
